Happy New Year!!!

I have had THE most fantastic day of the year!

OK, so it's only the 1st January but it's been a great day LOL. A long lay in ..... waking up to beautiful blue skies ..... hot bacon in freshly baked rolls for brunch ..... then the afternoon spent clearing the garden and pruning our out-of-control apple tree!

It was hard to believe that we were in the middle of winter - today has felt like a beautiful early spring day. Even the trees are starting to come out in bud. So, we wanted to make the most of the gorgeous weather. Chain Saw at the ready, Ian disappeared up the huge apple tree. A few hours later, and the whole garden looks lighter and even bigger. I took lots of piccies - just need to find the lead now to get them off the camera!

Praying now that the good weather holds for the weekend so we can get the rest of the garden cleared, and prune the second apple tree.

I'm now exhausted ..... but oh so pleased with our efforts!
