Neville,
That sounds something like my retirement plans: comfy chair on a beach, bucket of roses on my left and bucket of iced beer on my right...sell a rose, drink a beer!
Here it's 98% red and white flowers, noble fir, pine & cedar; the more adventurous have burgundy instead of red or all white!
Rock on.............

It usually follows fashion doesn't it? Blues and greens do seem to be in this year. I absolutely love peacock feathers in door wreaths.

Aren't peacock feathers supposed to be unlucky though? Like the idea of using them in door wreaths.

Interesting website, thank you.
Despite my earlier joke I really do like Christmas too. Next Jan 08, get up to the spring gift fair at NEC, you will walk your legs off , there is a whole hall dedicated to Christmas. Some of the suppliers have massive minimum orders and mainly sell to garden centres but there are plenty that will welcome the smaller order. Perhaps we could all meet up and have a jolly? Has anyone else been there for a nosy?
