... so the dogs are curled up in front of the fire. I've just used a "Chimney Cleaning Log" on my cast-iron stove - I stupidly used some damp wood on the fire a couple of days running, and ended up with sticky black creosote inside the stove. I'm hoping this log thing will be a miracle cure.
One of the things I like at the arboretum are the old tree-stumps that have been carved to look like toadstools. Someone has added little doors and windows to a few, and for some reason it amuses me.
I'm already bored of winter evening walks, juggling two leads, torch, poo-bags and gloves. This evening the wind stole the poo-bags from my hand, and trying to find black poo-bags in the dark is impossible. It's not often I miss street-lights, but tonight... Only another three months until it starts being a little lighter. Something to look forward to, eh?

Love the toadstool! I put in a Google search on this arboretum following your last post and it was so interesting. Somewhere I must visit the next time I am out that way. I couldn't understand why I had never heard or seen it mentioned before and great that dogs are allowed in.
Kisses on four velvety ears!
Too bad they don't make glow in the dark poo-bags!!
Hugs to you, Herbie & Hollie!
