THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM

Hi Everyone

Well as promised here is the calm before the storm.

Creation is just about to start.




As you can see I managed the Christmas tree and a few decoration up .. .. and what do you think of that huge fig plant?

My Dad bought it as a tiny twig a lifetime ago.  I gained it and can't bear to part with it .. .. but it is just so huge!!  It lives outside during the summer and comes in for the winter.  It still needs some Christmas lights.

Right off to make a start.

Have a happy Sunday everyone.

Love

  8. Incredible Christmas tree and fig tree, Jules! You are surrounded by green oxygen!! Well, unless the Christmas tree is not real, in which case you are surrounded by SOME oxygen, but lots of lights and spirit!! The fig tree is a lovely memory of your dad.

  13. Aww glad you've got your Christmas Tree up Jules… not got around to mine yet… and it only needs taking out of the box as it's fibre optic one!! LOL - but I need to make a space for it!!! so I've just been writing my cards….
    We used to have a fig tree like that … we had it for many years… but can't remember what happened to it in the end?… probably someone forgot to water it or else overwatered it!!! which was shame because they are really pretty leaf and shape…
    Hope you're having a good weekend!
    Big hugs
