    AS THE WINNER OF THE NOVEMBER COMPETITION Plantminded HAS CHOSEN THE DECEMBER THEME

    :star:Winter Cheer :star:


    In Plantminded's own word.

    Something cheerful in the garden or out and about to brighten our winter days - perhaps an early flower, visiting wildlife, a winter sunset, a local view or Christmas lights. Let your imagination and your camera bring us some winter cheer!
