December delights, in the garden that is…..

 The crunch of leaves under my feet, I find myself shuffling through the leaves to amplify the sound, much as my children did years ago. Living in the city we would have to go to a park to find this carpet..

I refuse to have them raked just yet. The ‘Mighty Oak’ has not yet dropped its leaves….

so that’s my excuse, but really….too much fun!

French Breakfast radishes from the Potager and Spicy Baby Lettuce  ready for a small salad.

Perfuming the air is  the shrub “Wintersweet” Chimonanthus praecox.

It always blooms for my birthday. What a gift!!
