Its starting to look like Xmas

Last Xmas Lillian bought a traditional pointsettia plant.  It was full of red leaves and looked lovely.  When it was time to leave Cyprus to return to the UK for our holiday in January knowing that the plant would be dead if left in the house I planted it in the garden.

On return to Cyprus the leaves had dropped and the plant looked dead.   However after time a few leaves started to sprout and the plant grew.  It is now two feet high and look ….. the leaves are turning red!

Xmas is coming to Cyprus.  St. Lazarus church in Larnaca already has it's large tree outside and Xmas lights are strung across the roads.  Even in Pervolia large Father Christmas models, some 6-8 feet high has started to appear on street corners.   But by a month today it will all be over!
