| A prickly Mahonia up my side return |
Somehow, a cold virus or somesuch has managed to get through the Host's bodily defences and take hold. I don't know how it happened because his immune system has been trained over the last few years with dirty, germy urchin nephew & nieces jumping all over him and smearing their filth & pestilence everywhere! I am not amused.
Anyway, after the paracetemol and ibuprofen kicked in earlier this morning, I took Bitey out for a walk and we ended up wandering along the prom - from where I took the photo above.
The rest of the photos are from the grounds of Hexenhäusli Device, and show what few flora - and fauna - can be found at this time of year.
A male muntjac on the embankment behind the South Lawn
A female muntjac. Sorry about the poor quality - this was taken through dirty glass
Snowdrops (and sprouting daffodils behind them)
Hellebore somethingorother
Oh, almost forgot: The point of the flowers in this post are as a little prompt to get you thinking about this year's Infomaniac Garden Photos Event. Is there anything Event-worthy in your garden - be it a frozen wasteland (Very Mistress?) a boggy mudscape (Ms Scarlet?) or tropical jungle (Dinah?) - at this time of year that it's worth taking a few photos of now before it's too late?
Don't worry if not as I will be naggingharanguing reminding you about the GPE regularly througout the year!
