It's been another wet and windy week at BBHQ, and tomorrow we're on a weather alert for 60mph winds, which we're not looking forward to at all. In fact, we're hoping that it misses us completely.
We just have to show mew this, the P.A. planted a small Deodar pine tree, way back in about 2006/7. Anyhoo it was only about 4ft or 121 cm tall, and a bit of weedy thing. The P.A. has a habit of saving things that other people would discard, and this particular tree was headed for the bonfire at the nursery, and the owner gave it to her for free, along with a couple more that are now in the BBHQ garden.
The other day she went to visit her cousin next door, and seeing the tree from a different angle she noticed this!
It is literally covered from top to bottom in pine cones, and yes these are the same type that are currently in the freezer, as that is how mew get them to germinate. Whether that's true or not, we'll let mew know as they are about ready to go in pots.
But she was really flabbergasted at the number of cones, the tree has never gone cone-crazy before at this level, and if mew tap the cones, a cloud of pollen bursts forth, not good if mew have allergies.
It's truly amazing, as it was such a weedy tree, and here it is looking utterly majestic, so much so that the P.A.'s brother asked if he could have some cones to grow some too! We're just deliberating on the cost per cone! MOL MOL (Well, we do need a new hummer!)
Anyhoo, let's look at this week's top headlines.
