What tree?

Heh heh!

Blithely unaware

It's quite hard to believe that t'owd man came into the room where the tree (see left) was glowing in a corner, and yet still carried on blithely as though it wasn't there, and here you see him lighting the fire, oblivious. These pics were taken about 5 seconds apart in the same room. Perhaps he was blinded by the spotlight I'd trained on him to try to capture the expression when it dawned on him that he had been disobeyed, and a tree had ensprungen without his consent. In the end it was a friend arriving and asking 'and what do you think to the tree then?' that did it, and he said 'What tree?'

There was one entry for the 'No Christmas tree, no Christmas tree' song competition, which was:  "No Christmas tree, no Christmas tree, there'll be no green flag flying here". He wins a week in turkey.
