Tree guardians??

Apart from an orange tree! we usually have a real tree and this year is no exception.
I saw one of the same kind and size in a garden centre priced £54
This one cost £15 from a supermarket.
In other news, I have developed a cold. This, in the same week that my wife has gone galavanting to Edinburgh!
I’m not looking for sympathy, but I’m having to look out tissues, blow my nose and pour my cough mixture all by myself!!
