It is beginning to look a bit like Christmas, When Phil hangs his giant Baubles

We have two giant baubles that we've had for the best of 20+ years.

They used to hang outside the front of our house on the hanging basket brackets

They were relegated to the back patio when we bought some fancy LED outside lights for the front.

I am surprised they have lasted so long as they have been battered by wind rain and snow over the years. We have a Giant Green and a Giant Gold Bauble.

With regards to the title of the image "It's beginning to look a bit like Christmas...." , there was a headline in this mornings newspapers that read "It's beginning to look a bit like last Christmas..." as we head into more government restrictions regarding Covid. I think it is fair to say that the public have lost confidence in the double standards and hypocrisy of our Government. We trust the scientists and our fabulous doctors and nurses but that was always so and it is going to be the Science and medicine that gets us out of the Pandemic and not the Politicians. Rant over !

Do you like my bauble
I love it! I want one!

Lovely bauble. And Phil did good job to hang it there -actually I don't think it needed much expertise to hang a bauble. I agree with your rant about politicians. All they care is how to make themselves popular to keep their seats at all costs.

I think we buy the same paper Phil - great minds! I think I might prefer the Christmas lights but well done on the bauble lasting so long!

Your title made me smile also! Not seen giant baubles anywhere.
So much apparent hypocrisy, but also I think our press are pretty dreadful too with the way they report things, always looking for sensation rather than truth!

Those baubles are very resilient Phil….they look lovely on your brackets…I have never seen any as big!
Good to have a rant…I think we all feel like one this week! The mind boggles at what gives in particularly at the foreign office! Sadly we don’t have your faith in the scientists, one in particular who I won’t name was completely wrong in his advice on foot & mouth.

@carole_sandford That’s a lot to do with it Carol….plus either side scoring points off each other….I get sick of it!

Really cool looking bauble. You might need a tree much larger than the house if you wanted to hang it on a branch
