It is such a beautiful day - the sky is a cerulean blue and the sun is very low in the sky.  The lawn is covered in a crisp frost.  I still have two bushes covered in pink roses - but they always flower a second time in December.  The lake is completely still - except for the ducks and moorhens dabbling about.  I am baking, and as soon as its out the Aga I am off round the fields with Russ.  Happy Christmas one and all.
