Thanksgiving weekend

Sunday 30th November


Thanksgiving brought a welcome long weekend break.
On Thursday we had our meal of ..........


Roast Lamb......................

Roast Potatoes and........................

Yorkshire Puddings, along with Cabbage and lashings of gravy.

This was followed by dozing on the sofa.
The garden is quiet......................


This tree is, as usual, one of the last to lose it's leaves.

It's pretty cold, the temperature never getting higher than the low 40's during the day and below freezing at night. I disconnect the hosepipes for the winter.
A brisk walk around shows that even the dense weeds in the copse..............
.....are rapidly dying back, and the 'mums................
....are done for this year.
I checked the veggie plots and cover up everything thats left growning.
Tommy Ticklemouse...............
.......keeps watch as I work.
The skyline has signs of impending bad weather.....
I have the feeling that snow is coming. Not many birds flying around unless.....................
.....you count this type.
Sure enough not long after I enter the house...............................

....the first light flakes begin to fall. Time to get ...........
....some of this in.

And enjoy!!
