This year we got in nice and early to buy our office Christmas tree. Duncan and Piran lugged it all the way back for us. It looked so beautiful to begin with. Perfect shape, lovely colour, strong base. We were so happy…….
Within a few days we noticed he was looking a bit sickly. A little grey. By the next morning he was falling apart. Rapidly.
Our tree seemed to have a mysterious illness; sort of like tree leprosy. The more we tried to brighten him, the more he died. Now two weeks later our Office Christmas Tree is on life support. He has lost all of his weight (needles) and has a limp. We fear he won’t survive the winter. We’ve tried water, baubles, happy thoughts, kicking him – nothing’s worked.
Essex Road Christmas Tree Man – you sold us a crappy, leper tree for £45.00. But for some reason we love him J
Merry Christmas to all of our Islington neighbours who probably also have terminal trees.
