Gardening in November

[anef]

Just to say I have been out in the front garden cutting back bushes.  It's bright and sunny, but there is a bitter wind from Siberia, and my fingers and toes have gone numb.  Also my nose and eyes were watering the whole time.  I managed an hour and have now come back inside to warm up.   My fingers are scarlet with returning blood, and a little fizzy.
