Getting our live Christmas tree105 katseluaThe Whitecroft "tradition" of having a live, rooted tree took us to the southern part of Gloucestershire, near the Severn, where this tree farmer dug up a gorgeous Norfolk pine for us. He needed his tractor to load it in our rental truck.

Wellingtonia, Laurels, and Here Comes the Big Tree114 katseluaWe bought a potted Wellingtonia for the front lounge, some laurels for a new hedge, and Marjorie is in the truck trying to guide the large Christmas tree.
