I only know about the Ag from watching Posh Nosh, a hilarious 15 minute spoof with which I am sure you are familiar.<br />Do hope you make a quick recovery - it all sounds very dramatic and apparently you got to the hospital in time. Three cheers for that. Love your header photo.

We have a wonderful crab apple tree in the orchard, which we can see once all the leaves have gone from the trees around the edge. You are so right about the Winter and stopping to take in the beauty.<br /><br />Can I ask you to say a prayer for my daughter's partner Luise. She is in a critical condition in hospital and we need all the prayer we can get to help pull her through.

We have a lot of creamy yellow in our house (to counterbalance it being a tad dark and gloomy) and we have a very similar yellow to that in our now Dining Room (it was the Morning Room until last year). <br /><br />I love to see the bare bones of the winter landscape too and the graceful outlines of the trees. I noticed that the baby-catkins are already out around here which makes me think that by January, when they are flowering, we will be 6 weeks away from spring.

I would hate to live in a landscape without trees and love that shot of the tangle of twigs and branches with the field and hedges in the background. We have something vaguely similar right outside our front window, except there are other houses in the background.
