A Winter's Walk

Officially it's now Winter though the weather has gone from Arctic to almost Spring like it's so warm within one week here in London. As I write I'm sat in the living room in short sleeves. We have storage heaters so it's tricky to gauge when to turn them up or down, especially in the Winter when it should just be cold. Anyway I digress.  OH and I were going to visit friends over in Penge for coffee but before hand we stopped off for a walk round Sydenham Woods which is the stop just before Penge on the train. The weather was gorgeous with brilliant blue skies. There is something special about Winter light, it's so warm and glowing as it starts to descend almost as soon as it's risen. And despite being mid December Autumn is still trying to hang on in there on some trees. Here is what we saw.
