There can be only one photo to wish you all a very Merry Xmas, so here it is.
The tree is looking a bit strange as you can just about make out a fair amount of leafage remaining on the tree (although not as much as on some of its sisters who who seem to still have nearly all their orangery). I’m not sure what has caused this absence of abscission but it seems to be pretty widespread around here.
Have a good time all, thanks for keeping on coming by despite the ongoing paucity of postings.
As ever it's good to see this magnificent tree!
Thanks, you too! It's always a pleasure looking at your superb pictures.
Merry Xmas to you too!
It's kind of spooky, with the white sky and white trunk!
Lovely to see 'our' tree again.
Wishing you and your family a peaceful and happy Christmas.
Have a wonderful Christmas ~ always enjoyable to see your delightful photos!
Have a wonderful day!
Although I think you usually have your Big Scoff on 24th evening?
Our oak still has some leaves – mostly those huge 11" ones!
Nice one! Merry Christmas!
Thanks all.
Almost spot on with the meal timing Witchy….we indeed usually have more people on Little Xmas Eve (the 23rd and a Danish thing due to Mrs.LDNP's side of the family). This, however, has slipped earlier each year to accommodate those travelling elsewhere. This year it was on the 11th December for 16 of us. Just 13 for Xmas dinner!
Merry Xmas!
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year ~ looking forward to more photos whenever you can 🙂
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL 🙂 !
I have come here via Uphilldowndale's blog, where your wren got a mention today. I have just had wonderful half hour looking at some of your pictures since that wren. I am now up to July 5, 2009. I am absolutely in love with all that you do here! The photos are all breathtaking, every one is a favourite, and you can write too. Please come back out of hibernation soon so I can follow you on a daily basis. I'm sure you can do something with the grey skies and dead stuff that seems all there is out there. I bet I'm just not looking hard enough.
Thanks all and welcome Joss.
