All I want for Christmas is …. The cherry tomatoes that I planted on my balcony! And finally I see some colour! No pressure little tomatoes but… the countdown is now on! Four days to go!

A Garbage Truck of Plastic Will Be Dumped Every Second by 2040 Unless We Act Now, Report Finds

Santa's bottom has had too much work over the years. All that time spent in the sleigh has left it lumpy and bumpy and all out of shape. Santa needs a new bum!
