Ale Farm

  We may not have had snow but we've had some frosty days recently.   The snow drops and primroses seem to have survived fortunately.        The orchard looks bare but there are buds on the trees and even four tiny Gala apples (see below).            The pathway out of the badger field is easily passible now and there don't seem to be so many rabbit holes being dug. Our lovely walnut tree is bare and so it lets the sun shine through its branches to the house.   I wonder whether we'll have snow before winter ends?
