A couple of days ago the hubby and I were out for a walk down the road and I was surprised to see a holly tree - with bright red berries! - growing at the edge of the woods. Not something you see around here very often.

We have enjoyed visiting Slimbridge for the past 40 years, and first went when we lived in Cheshire and would come to Gloucester to visit my husbands' family. It has changed a great deal since then but of course it has to move with the times. I hope the birds leave you a few berries for your decorations but you could always cheat a tuck a few artificial ones into the greenery.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826501916623305535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-15156095515236222262008-12-02T10:29:00.000-08:002008-12-02T10:29:00.000-08:00Gosh, reading this made my ears feel real cold.
