SundayComic: comic drawn on Sundays from Life and photo-reference: All the leaves are gone from the back yard sycamore, and only dead stragglers remain o the ash (the wisteria is mostly barren, but oddly persist in a couple of places) .  Off to Manchester to met up with Esme today - there was a proposition to bring over of the (fake) Christmas trees, but we were worried it would be more busy so demurred... Pleasant & easy day - just a quick jaunt down to didders & for some food & a hunting of a few charity shops (we did quite well, thank you, had a nice time,, thank you)
