Christmas is coming...

as the Mahonia Japonica by my kitchen door is in flower.




It smells good (especially at night). It attracts pollinators like fury (note bee on the right hand side really going for it...) I make Mahonia Berry Jelly with the lovely blue berries that follow in the spring.  I took this picture during a short burst of sunshine between the showers today.  It is definitely half-term as the weather has taken a turn for the worst.. ho hum...
