I've posted this little folly before but I think it's worth another visit especially as the trees are in their Winter best.

The weather forecasters have taken to giving storms names, a practice I believe that originated in the States with hurricanes and tropical storms.

The only other Doris I can think of is Doris Day! Until tomorrow then, Doris permitting.
