ok – I have put up photographs of the dark hedges a number of times but this morning was foggy and it seemed like a good idea when my wife suggested a trip over.  For the very first time we saw almost no-one, usually there are wall to wall tourists dreaming of game of thrones.

This morning it was just above freezing and the melting drops of frost were raining from the branches.  In the bushes beneath the trees a few defrosting berries hang on waiting for a hungry bird.
