Sometimes I feel the day is going to be one of those days when it is good to just sit and relax, watch an old film (Scrooge, 1951 with Alastair Sim and a very young George Cole) and as it had started raining when I walked the dog this morning this seemed like a good plan after I had got some jobs done.

Sometimes it is the simple things that we take for granted that gives us the most pleasure, like a winter’s day when you can stay inside watching an old film in front of the fire, but when I took the dog out for her walk before the evening had set in I noticed how the bare trees silhouetted against the now clear sky gave me a feeling of warmth even as the tempreature was dropping fast.

Can there be no better picture of the Winter Landscape in East Anglia than the bare trees against a Winter sky.

Somtimes the bare trees that we pass everyday look so different against a winter sky.
