A rose; that had not flowered all year decided to bud. Luckily, I brought it inside; before the frost got at it. What a lovely bloom to brighten up the grey days of November.

I could not believe my eyes this week; whilst raking leaves in the garden...

Poetry Freeze - 'Ice Magic'
We had our first heavy frost this morning. Winter is here.
I thought I'd share a wintry poem that I wrote; for one of my A215 last course assessments. If you are thinking of studying Creative Writing, I can highly recommend the Open University course A215 (see here for details).
Anyhow, here is my poem for winter and Christmas time. I like the centred view on this poem; as I think it looks (a bit) like the shape of a Christmas tree...

Ice Magic
A scattering of
flaking sky,
a splash of dust
like icing sugar
dropped without sieving.
Falling softly like fondant,
scattering white wherever it wants to.
A fleece blanket of cold marshmallow
Ice.
