Once home, the sun was out and after sitting in the car for a few hours, it seemed like a good idea to have a walk in the garden for a breath of fresh air. Couldn't believe how much difference a bit of sunshine makes!

The green woodpecker might be a pretty sight in the garden, but the holes he leaves aren't quite so pretty. Looks like we've had an L&P plane crash, a disaster on the "frostproof" planter front, and a fallen star lay on the path, most probably left behind from Christmas.

But look what was in the pond
