Yes, there are still some leaves in place.
This is a little belt of woodland I traipse through on my way to Sainsbury's or the railway station. There's a factory on one side (they often have noxious bonfires out in the yard) and a road on the other, but if you angle the camera right you can imagine you're in the Forest of Arden.

Beautiful blue sky.
I have a wild cherry tree by the back door, and it still has a few leaves, and last week had lots of red berries, but the birds settled in and in one day stripped it of every berry.

Date: 2005-12-12 05:51 am (UTC)In the movie Iris (so beautifully played by Judi Dench), Iris and her husband went shopping at a grocery store and were offered a "bag for life," which appeared to be sturdy plastic.
"Bag for life? Do we deserve it?" asked Iris's husband.
"We have to ask," explained the clerk.
"I should say we would like a bag for life!" he said then.
Does your grocery store have bags for life? We have to buy string bags if we don't want thin plastic or paper.
