Winter appreciation

Another lovely afternoon spent pruning and tidying the garden. I LOVE winter gardening. Nest week raking leaves, ah heaven.

We have got 7 hen pheasants who come each morning when we put out bird food. One has got so tame she runs up to me when I open the back door.
My bones may not like winter, but this makes it almost worth it!

Mine have gone elsewhere - fickle birds that they are - but they'll be back!
