tree season

i miss working in downtown london.  over the next few days the streets will be full of trees celebrating how london was once a dense pine forest.  the festival of abandoned trees only lasts a few days, but sadly i’ll miss it.

luckily i caught an early specimen as i walked to work (due to my car being broken) yesterday

“If you take down your lights before January 6th, the wise men may not be able to find their way.”  Although in these modern days you’d expect anyone wise enough would have a map or a satnav.  And since everyone has christmas lights anyway, it’s all slightly confusing.

waddesdon manor in a glorious (if rather chilly) winter’s day.  all their statues have been wrapped up nicely in protective bags for the winter and looked more than a bit spooky
