Hi Jasmine,
Thank you very much 
I will ask Richard if there is room left in his moving box with 'ego 'on it
A little brighter
is exactly the word I should have used…thanks for that
Thanks for the compliment about the atmosphere, it is a lot better than last year because since then I have never looked at a Christmas tree in the same way again… I can`t unsee it with the drag on top …Brian!!! 
…
Here’s a bunch fresh from our own garden around September to recover from the shock,
I prefer a photo from the garden where they were beautiful, but I only have very old ones and/or zoomed in or very far away, etc. etc.
Greetings
Hi Lisa @Lisa_S Lisa Siegmund …Where Art Thou?
a bit subtly tucked away somewhere where in a 7 day`s old post so it might produce a grin if the attention is inconvenient… hopefully you are “just” very busy…
Greetings
