Early December in a suburban garden. My own back garden. It's a fairly large 1930s semi. The speculative builders simply bought a field, ran a road down the middle, and built houses either side. The gardens terminated at the edge of the field, which at this point coincided with a minor stream, the Chaffinch (now below ground). It also meant that they were pretty long, as well as wide - since the houses had garages and side entrances at the side. The oak trees would have been little more than saplings when the house was built. The tree on the left will soon lose its leaves, but the leaves of the tree on the right will stay until pushed off by the spring's new growth. The animal track in the lawn (centre right, leading towards the pampas grass) is part of the local foxes' regular route in search of scraps.

Hotel located in historical location. No doubt with that. However, there wasn’t heating system or it wasn’t working. The price paid wasn’t worth staying to the hotel.

Liked the stay, it was good for the price, only need to fix the soap dispensers and add a toilet paper holder. The rooms were a little hard to find as the elevator would drop you off in different parts of the floor or the signs were dark.
