Have you tried Witch's Butter?

Boxing day was another nice day so Corbie collected some more Christmas decorations from the garden and driveway.

Rosa gentiliana syn multiflora var. cathayensis (I need to sort out its nomenclature) still has great swags of hips and R. 'Scintillation' has the orange and green ones.  'Cupid' provided the giant ones. Berries of Cotoneaster horizontalis were mostly taken by the blackbirds but enough were left to brighten the berry collection.  Added to the flower list were gorse, broom, osteospermum and periwinkle.

C and L are here for a few days so we went out for a walk round the circle from Tregarth to Cororion.  The holly growing out of the oak tree is still doing well and we encountered a nice bit of witch's butter, Tremella mesenterica, growing on gorse.
