The sad post-festive season sight of a selection of Christmas Trees ready for recycling/chipping |
This year there were two Christmas Tree Mazes in London - one in Vauxhall and one on the Southbank. Unfortunately the Southbank one was closed on our visit.
Roll on Christmas 2015!
Or perhaps there will be some 'festive fun' over the summer...
Back in June 2012 I competed in a Christmas Tree Throwing Competition at a fete in West Berkshire! Great fun, but hard work.
Launching a Nordman Fir at the Yattendon & Frilsham Village Fete. It was quite an agonising experience! |
The Christmas period also seems to start earlier each year. For instance I bought and ate my first Mince Pies in September this year!
By the look of these trees I've seen that are well past their use by date, the 'season of goodwill' has continued long into the summer as well.
A browned off Christmas Tree in Luton. In April |
Dumped in Hastings and looking very un-Christmassy in May |
