A Christmas Carol by fishers

A Christmas Carol

At the end of November we featured shots of the latest display of wicker figures in the Homestead Park, based on the novel 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe'. Since then various other figures from displays in earlier years have appeared in different parts of the park. Several of the earlier displays that have re-appeared are based on 'A Christmas Carol', and in this shot we see the Ghost of things yet to come on the left, and Scrooge in his nightshirt holding a candle on the right. It is nice to see this display back in a different part of the park, allowing for some different photo opportunities.

Lucy continues to make progress in hospital, and there are now discussions about when she should be discharged from the hospital. It may be as soon as tomorrow, but we wait to hear what the hospital staff decide.

Looks wonderful.

Those are great! Delighted to hear that Lucy's issues were likely down to the flu vaccine and not anything more sinister. I do heartily continue to wish her well, poor love. What a trauma!

This is lovely. I like the contrast of the white and brown, such a great sculpture.
Great news about Lucy, just being home will speed her recovery.

Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.

I remain impressed with how expressive these figures in Homestead Park are, and look forward to seeing future displays.

Lucy was discharged from hospital yesterday evening and is very happy to be back home again with her family.

Oh I love these! I could have guessed that they represented Mr Scrooge and his spirit of Christmas future!
