Christmas - The Aftermath...

Chilling scenes in a popular Glasgow park earlier today. 

In what authorities have described as "Christmas tree recycling" the public have been urged to take their unwanted Christmas trees to a "reprocessing point." The site of this tree based horror is a car park in one of Glasgow's largest public parks, where the abandoned trees will be chipped and shredded and scattered in the area. Trees across the globe have sent messages of support to the their pine cousins in the UK. Trees based in the rainforests of South America, who have sadly lost a large part of their population in the last fifty years, have encouraged them to fight back by shedding their needles onto carpets in homes and cars across the country and by pricking those who try to dispose of them in this manner. 


At the same time as this Christmas tree killing spree many have also fallen victim to bad weather over the last month with several trees being uprooted during the hurricane force winds. I urge you to spare a thought for those trees left standing this January it will be a bleak start to the year for those who are pining for their lost forest friends.

Happy New Detox....

Poor Fontaine - Done in!
Well well well 2012 is here! Because I greeted the new year as tradition dictates, by being far far far too drunk, I inevitably spent New Years Day in my jammies watching Only Fools and Horses and crying so... 

(belated) Happy New Year one and all!


Cut me out these jammies
and take off my Christmas socks.
Switch Only Fools and Horses off
it's time for the festive binge detox.

Pack away the decos
and the sequined, sparkly frocks.
Hoover up the pine needles
and start to ration out the chocs.

Take the empties to the bottle bank
of vodka, gin and wine.
After Christmas it's unacceptable
to drink before lunchtime!
