Not to mention the murderin process int forest when they cut the roots oft. He was one ov the lucky ones that gets a propoer ome. Crispmus trees int just fer crispmus. They is fer life.
Yes.We also have a lickle Crispus tree that we brings in an decorates each year, he is getting a little bit bigger every year. He's about 2' now.
Is this really that rare?
Well, dunno what to say to that!Yes.
Generally peeps these days don't go in for it like the older generations. They buy a plastic one or a non rooted live one. Sad really!Well, dunno what to say to that!
We do it cos we normally go away for Crispmus and we are away, normally, all summer. We don't take it with us at Crispmus, we have a lickle plassy one we put up in the rented place and often the owners will put one up.
In our last house when we were both working and didn't have our other place we used to buy one, put it up in the house then plant it in the garden, so by the time we left there, there were three smallish Xmas trees in the garding!
I guess all families have their own traditions.
And thanks to the smallness of leds we can have two sets on it!Well, here's ours.

They sure know how to look after you! Perhaps it is the visit from earlier that prompted them to be thorough.........that Xmas has come early with a surprise gift from the NHS.
An invitation to an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm screening on Dec 24th. Deep joy!
I think they got it confused with wanting me to join the "AA" (Alkies Anon).They sure know how to look after you! Perhaps it is the visit from earlier that prompted them to be thorough.....
Din't understand that, but as I prolly will never have a lathe it doesn't matter! so very happy for you!@DanClarke I have managed to rewire the Raglan lathe's motor from Star to Delta so it will run off a cheap 240v inverter

We bought one in 2002 and then planted him in the garden where he grew and grew and grew in spite of being pruned every year to keep his girth in check. I used to put outdoor lights on him every year until he got too big to get up to it and then two years ago he just had to go. We donated him to the local primary school who were delighted with him.We also have a lickle Crispus tree that we brings in an decorates each year, he is getting a little bit bigger every year. He's about 2' now.
