Reactions have been mixed including 'Is it real?' and 'You drew that on with a biro, didn't you?' Apparently I really don't look like a person who gets tattoos - whatever that means. Maybe I don't but the fact is I did it, I have one, and now I can move on to some of the other items on my list.
The area I work in is surrounded by trees like this. While I love the stark beauty of the branches against the grey sky I'm finding myself longing for spring this year. I was unreasonably excited to find a clump of snowdrops in my garden and some blue crocuses are pushing their way through the mud left by the snow. I really want to go out there and get my hands dirty and make colourful things grow but it's a little cold and miserable yet. Roll on the sun - which is not something you'll hear me say very often!
