This amused me last Thursday whilst we were waiting for the Sandbanks ferry back to Poole. The staff have decorated the natural vegetation surrounding the toll booths with baubles and tinsel, plus this rather surprising view of Santa. It was a welcome injection of humour on a very cold day.

Hi, let's start a conversation - right here, right now! If you have a question, I'll also endeavour to get back to you over at your place.
If anyone is having problems leaving comments, do contact me on vegplotting at gmail dot com or @malvernmeet if a quick tweet is more convenient for you.
Thanks xxx
My general policy re comments
I value genuine commenters for the conversation they bring. Those aiming to link back and give credence to commercial websites (thankfully rare) will be removed.
Blog posts are kept open for your Comments for as long as possible - for at least 3 months. I've reluctantly taken the decision if a post comes in for a sp@m attack after that time, I'll remove its Comments facility. I've found genuine comments are rarely left after 3 months, but dozens of sp@m comments are :( Removing these takes away the joy that a genuine comment might be left one day.

What a hoot the Santa in the shrubbery was! I was flipping back through your other "Things in Unusual Places" and read the one about astroturf being given out at the garden show. It reminded me of walking past a park in New York City where there were children playing and dogs running, and dogs pooping - All on a huge lawn of astroturf. It made me queasy just to think of it. Football fields - OK, but parks - NO!

ReplyDeleteOh dear, do you think his sleigh is riding over Poole Harbour santaless?
ReplyDeleteHi everyone - glad this cheered you up!
ReplyDeleteGrethic - we've had reports of UFOs lately, I wonder if it was Santa's sleigh on the loose ;)
Strange things often happen in Poole - I should know, I used to live there.
ReplyDeleteMartyn - that explains a lot then ;)
