Despite the appalling wet weather a walk round 'Charnwood'; this morning showed there is always something good to see in a garden if you look hard enough. Photos from left to right:

Mahonia looking and smelling lovely, a real ray of sunshine in a dark corner;
Ferns close by the mahonia still fresh and green;
Rosemary in flower, some of that will end up in the Christmas dinner roast spuds;
Winter flowering jasmine, so easy and pretty, prune after flowering;
Bright stems of a dogwood hard pruned last March.

Happy Christmas!
