I went to Uppsala just before Christmas. I was invited to examine a thesis on
P. infestans as it attacks potato in Sweden by my colleagues Jonathan Yuen and Bjorn Andersson. Sweden was in the middle of a cold spell with maybe 20cm of snow and subzero temperatures for seeral weeks. The snow was still decorating the trees with white tinsel.

My Hotel room was very quiet and looked out on to the garden of the real Carl Linneus
When I landed in Mancester, it was still raining and a balmy 8C.
Our topiary holly at the front door is a male and needs a bit of adornment for the festive season so Lorna took this year's harvest of Agapanthus umbels and gave them a coat of red paint. La voilà
