A festive geranium

Snapped under what must have been the good shelter of a fence outside 'Danehurst' of East Street.

I associate to the hugely more vigorous geraniums which climb up through the hedges of La Laguna on Tenerife, geraniums which have the advantage of being quite near the equator, rather than half way to the North Pole.

Also to the daffodils now showing in the new bed in our back garden. Leaves and flower buds, maybe two inches high. We will see how they get on. If they are biennials we should do well in the coming spring, not having done well this year. in fact, rather feeble.

And, for the record, it is 0636 on Christmas Day morning here, whatever the posted blog might say in (I think) Pacific Standard Time.
