Bare - NOT amateur radio

I always think of November as the worst month of the year. It is often dull and dark, the trees lose their leaves and it really is "the pits".  At least in January nights are getting a bit lighter and there are the signs of new life.

Take, for example, the horse chestnut trees in the churchyard shown in the photo. A few weeks ago the leaves were there. 

Now there are very few revealing the rook's nests. I look forward to these being repaired in the early spring and the first buds.
