13th January - Friday - lucky for some!!

Last night we had a sharp frost ... one of the few this year so far!  This morning the sun came up red and orange and bright over the dark line of the woodland's horizon.  Everything sparkled!  There was some REAL birdsong, too, not just the sleepy twitters of a winter morning and the squabbling of hungry rivals, but some true, melodic warbles.  How lovely!!  The tiny Jenny wren was making herself known, too: such a loud voice for such a little lady!

Spring, must surely be not too far away on the morning like this ...
