Notes at the end of 2007

Christmas is over and New Year is approaching, today is half way between.
The weather is mild and breezy, cloud cover about 80%. Brightness and blue visible in the gaps. Winter flowering trees and shrubs in evidence, such as Winter Cherry, Winter Jasmine, Viburnum bodnantense and even a few roses.
Winter fruit of Pyracantha and Hawthorn and Cotoneaster in abundant supply locally boosted by landscaping schemes on modern housing estates.
