To be truthful I hadn’t given it a thought. Bad show from a moderator
Thanks for the reminder

Give it a couple of days and someone will rearrange the holly so it spells "Rudolph".

Even less than usual this year, if such a thing were possible. It doesn't feel like Winter has even started yet. I've had to change from wearing shorts, but was quite comfortable outside this morning without needing anything over my t-shirt.

I got here eventually. A nativity set, moulds by Hobby Kreation in Germany (the owner has a soft spot for Dorset having spent a year in Bridport) . I bought the moulds over a period of about five years, the first ones were purchased while I was living in a tent but looking to make a living rather than claim benefits -i'd have probably saved myself ten years by claiming benefits but it wouldn't be half as good a story.

@Curly green finger's , the tenbury market has been an interest of mine ever since reading an article about it by Monty Don in his observer days (mid 90s?).

Edit: the skep isn't a part of the set (although it should be! But it is a HK mould), just my little twist on the scene.

I remember with fondness, back in the mid eighties ,my then aged grandmother explaining in her overly educated blunt manner to a pair of knockers that they wouldn't be pulling her mistletoe which adorned an ancient apple that towered above all the nearby trees. (It came down in the big gale but no tears were shed about not having sold the mistletoe previously).

a pair of knockers that they wouldn't be pulling her mistletoe

Is that some kind of upper middle class single entendre?

 

[rolande]

Is that some kind of upper middle class double entendre?

No, she'd have been mortified to be thought of as middle class (that's where people with no 'go' in them hang out).

The whole thing is excellent
