A period of really miserable, misty, grey, drab weather seems to have coincided with a period of real busy-ness for me:
so I thought I'd post a picture from last week -- when the weather was constantly bright, blue and crisp -- to cheer myself up!

This is -- basically -- the view from my kitchen window, at the back of the house. However, I was shooting into the sun:
the light on the ferns and the tree being reflected off the largest window of the house across the road from me, at the front!
