Late December in our Garden.

Lovely to see a green garden again Chris ,instead of a White one! and what pretty colour you have too. too.I can see the face in the Willow..looks like 'The Scream ' to me..no wonder you wanted to go indoors and cuddle up to Rudolph..Lol xxx

Very nice Wildrose. I never have much luck with hyacinths indoors, they always want to bloom far too soon ! Your garden looks great too. I think you must be a little warmer down there !

Very nice.
It looks like u had some brightness today...us too, although, very cold!

I've seen a scary face in the willow. Time to grab the chain saw.

Oh no Bathgate - its there to frighten the garden pests away!

A wonderful blog wildrose. The face looks like its drooling ready to gobble something up. :o)

I am always seeing images in gnarled trees, yours is a scary one, straight out of Hobbit land, he appears to have an imp tucked away under his mouth .
Thankyou for inviting me to your garden Wildrose, mine is still white but I do have a clear blue sky you have a lovely view....

I like your lovely sunny blog :)
There's a nice view from your garden too ...
I hope you enjoyed your hot chocolate. You've made me want some now lol I think I'll go and make some in a minute :o)

All your comments have made me smile, thanks very much for them.

The tree from Hobbit Land really is quite horrible isn't it? It is worse than I thought because I guess, over the years, I had grown accustomed to its face!!

Such character in that tree, I love it WR. and still lots of colour in the garden too, and of course that wonderful view! a super late December blog...

Thanks Homebird and DD.

Homebird his surprised look was that I actually had the hoover out on that day.......sorry to disappoint you!!!

Hello Chris and a very Happy New Year to you and John !
I think I prefer Rudolph to that scary face ! Hahaa! Loved your pictures of your garden ! Will write soon. Take care. xxx

Loved your pics Wildrose, and your open view of the Devon countryside, mmmm not a very nice face in your Willow tree, if it snows, then you'll be able to lob snowballs at that mouth!!

Hello Rose and Janey, I loved your comments!
That tree is beginning to think it has celebrity status and is getting too big for his roots!!

Very best wishes for the new year.
xx

Ha ha....!

That sure is one ugly face on that willow Chris, don't think much of his hair style either:-) You have some lovely early flowers there, very pretty. I've just looked again at the willow and regret my earlier comments ....he looks rather sad, a little like the elephant man, how cruel we all are .... sob ... where's me hanky?:-((

Happy New Year to you and your Chris - I hope 2015 is a good one!

No Ba he is on the ugly side and there is no getting away from it!
A very happy new year to you and to Scottish.
It is a wild, wet, windy day here - that makes a change!!!
