Following my realisation yesterday that it was only (!) four months until Christmas, today I spotted what may well be the oldest Christmas tree in the UK – or perhaps an early Christmas tree for somebody very miserly? It’s actually been on this house’s balcony for 8 months looking like this, and I only remembered it was there as I left work today. I reckon if they put a few bits of tinsel on it, that could make a good budget Christmas tree for 2010!
