When not attending to garden tasks what other things have filled your day?

We had our 3ft Christmas tree come today, it's lovely.
Hubby is getting as bad as me.
Before you know it, it's right in front of you, so i start early, I'll put them up the last week in November to turn on the 1st of December, it should take me a week to do it.

Our dog walker sent this pic of River out on their walk, the Redditch Dog Walking always does this for their clients and at Christmas.

After next Tuesday I'll be doing all of the walks.

 

My Grandad gave this to my Dad who gave it to me...



It was the standard price of a loaf of bread when it was minted. There were 1620 of them to a Pound

Yep. I also remember when each village had a post office

 

I remember my mother giving me 2¢ to buy her a stamp. I was 4 I believe, just tall enough to push the button on the crosswalk signal. I was so short that I had to step back from the counter at the Post Office in order to see the lady. I told her I wanted a stamp and reached up to put my two pennies on the edge of the counter.
She told me that I needed one more penny because the price went up to 3¢. So, I went outside and looked around in the dirt around the curb until I found one.

 

One of the biggest increases in prices, of which I'm aware, is the cost to join Ronnie Scott's jazz club in London. It's £425 a year, plus discounted entrance fees.

In 1959, at the ages of nineteen, my future wife and I moved into a flat above a milk bar in Soho. Ronnie's first club was about a hundred yards away, which we joined when it opened and we were often in there on weekdays, as on those days, it was free admission for members (and warmer than our flat).

I paid 7/6d (that's 38p) each, for our year's membership.
