Ancient woodland lore states that a proliferance of holly berries heralds an icy cold midwinter.

It the trees are to be believed, we’re in for a mild December it seems.

This is very much at odds with the chill that reigns at dawn. There’s a bite in the air, which my upturned shirt-collar barely manages to ward off.

Time perhaps for a thick scarf to keep the cold at bay?

Thanks for reading and have a lovely day.

Adam.
