That is gorgeous. It weirdly makes me think of Christmas though. And it’s June. I dunno….maybe I’m just weird!
It made me think of Christmas, too. That’s why I felt compelled to post it in June! The thing is, I’m not sure that laurel should produce berries until the Autumn, unless it’s not a laurel at all, but just pretending to be one.

Hee, hee, Sylvia. Those incongruous berries in June 🙂 There should be a way of preserving them until Christmas.

Maybe by showing something Christmasy at this time of year, it makes people appreciate the warmer months more!
