Here we are in December. It has been so mild here in southern England that it doesn't really feel as if winter has started yet, though if the weather forecast is correct it will be turning colder this week.
These photographs were taken in the last few days and do seem to be more autumnal than wintry. The oak trees especially seem to be holding on to their leaves.
I'll enjoy the autumn colours while they last but I must also look towards Christmas. I've made my cake and got my Christmas food order and veg box sorted but its about time I started on the Christmas cards - maybe tomorrow!
