However I have been "messing about" with my Asian buildings,trying to find a good combination/location on my "Village/Town" ready made board,and may have come up with the ideal setting for them(always subject to change!!)............................
Finally,can anyone tell me why,after twenty or so years,my holly bush has suddenly developed berries on it?????
Roll on next Sunday,hopefully I will be okay,and we will be back into the swing of things.
Hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteHi Alan,thanks for concern-feeling a bit better today-could be the rum kicking in though!!

Great little village. Since you ask about your Holly tree... Native British Holly can be male, female or both . Your tree could be a female or a hermaphrodite (monoecious). Probably the former and it's bearing berries for the first time because there is a new male Holly in the area. Sometimes trees don't fruit unless they are stressed in some way, and last year's hot summer may have caused it to feel threatened and thus reproduce.... It's all sex, sex sex!!! You did ask, and it happens to be my trade:)
ReplyDeleteMike-wow,am I impressed or what??-I didn't think that sort of thing could go on in my garden-but many thanks for the info.I'll do some "delving" now,thanks,

Coronovirus is it? You better not have infected me and the hundreds who attended York. It would probably be the first time you've given anything away for free.By the way the holly is carrying berries because its reached maturity.
ReplyDeleteRobbie-you've reached(and passed!) maturity,but there's no berries on you!
DeleteAs for giving nothing away-may I remind you of the thousands of biscuits I've given you in the past??

Robbie you have been to China and Feasted on Chickens Bollocks Etc turn Yourself in.

The Asian buildings look great John. Been sick myself - rubbish isn't it?!
ReplyDeleteAhoy matey!must admit I'm pleased with the way they look.
DeleteCaught my "cold" from attending a playgroup of two year olds(grandaughter included)-they're just a bunch of disease ridden,snotty little anarchists!!-but we love them.

Very nice! Looking forward to seeing a battle played using the village. Get well soon and may that rum speed your recovery process. ;)
ReplyDeleteHi Stealth(didn't they name a bomber after you?)-thanks for comment-battle already planned,and yes Doctor/Captain Morgan is helping recovery!!!
