A splash of colour in a drab winter garden.

As we came back from our Christmas Day walk, I spotted this little red anemone blooming in the front flower bed. I can't remember it flowering in winter last year but maybe thats global warming for you!

Little children often choose red as their favourite colour. Its warm, bright and cheery.

I love it too. Red holly berries, robin redbreast and now my little anemone, all bring a bit of cheer to a winter's day.

Happy New Year!
