And as if to provide us with a Christmas surprise for 2021, out, from the topmost and most vigorous carbuncle (apologies to the Prince of Wales) comes a brave new shoot.
So happy, and vigorous have been our mistletoe bunches on such a small apple tree in a pot, that I have had, for the first time, to prune them back and give away some locally (Hammersmith) grown mistletoe to local inhabitants.
We wish all our readers a Merry Christmas and a virus-free New Year.
