My gardens in winter

There are so many jobs to do in the garden but I'm over the cold. I can totally understand why animals hibernate. That's just what I feel like doing but we're half way through winter so onwards and upwards! One thing I've decided to do is remove the lilac tree next to the magnolia. Even though I adore the spring flowers the tree didn’t look much good for the rest of the year, having suffered due to the last few years of drought. And the trunk and branches had split quite badly so best to remove it.
