Within a fortnight there was already a tiny spike of growth, and it wasn't even February yet. There was still 11 months of growing time before Christmas. I spent the wet summer carefully nurturing the little chap. Warding away any potential threat from snails or mischievous cats. After a years growth and Christmas looming, this was the result...
... I'd hoped for.
Unfortunately, this is the reality. Where am I going to get lights small enough to fit this?! I wouldn't say that I'm disappointed, but I'm thinking it very loudly! Still, it's going to make the presents look HUGE...

You are giving Charlie Brown a run for his Xmas tree money!
Keep smilin!
Ho Ho Ho - - I mean Ha Ha Ha...
oh well, nothing ventured, then nothing gained - hey, at least you got it to live a whole year - thats gotta count for something...and if not, well, the pot alone you couldnt get for 50p...
A clever guy like you will think of some way to light it!
At least you got it to grow which is probably better luck than I would have.
You can swap it with my Christmas tree if you like: I have the opposite problem in that it it will soon be too big for any container and now I don't know what to do with it next. I don't have the necesary half acre of garden required to plant it in. :(
now that is amusing... I like.
Hey Barkfoot :o)
My rat is still a baby and she is timid...but funny..she came out of her nest last night before I went up to read my book to see me and get a treat...she will be fine.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who "can't stand crowded places either...I get an overwhelming temptation to pull strangers heads off, I avoid confrontation at all costs unless I'm really angry (see:- pulling strangers heads off),".... I can relate so much to that!! I just want a smaller camera that will fit in my handbag or coat pocket... so that I have it with me all the time for that pic I want to take... I use my camera phone sometimes but it doesn't catch the moment like I want it to.
You are not old... and I don't think you are the type of perv that I have pictured in mind.... I had a few run-in's w/ a couple of pervey old men...it made an impression on me that I can't shake... I suspect that may be something I won't get over.... just something that is lurking in the back corner of my closet.
I just have the winter blues... I fight it every single winter... sometimes I am okay and other times I am a little messed up and kookie.... but that makes me who I am. Got my eye on an overlock machine... went and bought some more fabric to make another dress for the little squirrel today...things are good.... for today and I reckon for the rest of December. You're a star...thanks for the comment ;o)
I think those are the ones we have spotted. We stick w/ Sony, it has always done us well. I have missed so many shots on bike rides...but they will be forever in my memory.
LOL,at least you did get it to grow frankly I'm still impressed!
that's worse than what comes after saving a zillion cans of ovaltine.
Too funny but bravo for nurturing it for a whole year. maybe next Christmas it will be two matches tall...
