Our little Orange trees have to go.. sigh.

Despite they are in buckets and cannot drip onto anything, the house freeholder is demanding "pots are cleared from the area". So she's not going to have our Calamondin trees to decorate for Christmas this year.. or Easter ever again.

And, as they're outside plants and hate being indoors, they have to go. She's had them now for eleven years, in fact, she bought them as tiny trees before I was born.

"Where will they go GeeGee" she asked me and then had a brainwave.. OSSIE! Ossie loves plants and is good with them, he'll take care of the Calamondins and will use the herbs that have to go as well.

She called Leigh, who's very busy looking after her baby grand-daughter, Sylvie, and she said "Yes, of course, we will take them", so they're off to a new home in Kew, she must remember to give him their plant food when he collects them.

Some folk are 'funny' and some are 'funnier' than others but she knows why he is doing this, he didn't like being told by Environmental Health to sort her heating and hot water problem out.

Our dustman is going to miss them, for he loves their smell and says each year "they're so pretty with those Christmas decorations".. we'll miss them too.

GeeGee Parrot.
