Got muxed ip.

THIS is the one which should have been here today; before I played swapsies.
It being a scheduled Wednesday, we were due a garden centre run. For a change of venue, we shot off to Hayes at Ambleside.
Things have changed somewhat. 
This is a periodic display, but what has changed vastly are Christmas lights; the cold, wintery, blue, un-christmassy lights which we both intensely disliked, are now unavoidable.
Alice and I bought some; a few years ago now, but since the advent of LEDs.
I think there were something like 240 lights. However there was sufficient length to go quite a few times around the tall, thin, "Taxus bacata fastigiata" (Now there's a gobfull)
They lived out in the wild & were plugged in annually.
Earlier this year I accidentally mowed the lead, it having dropped un-noticed.
The replacement boasted 768 lights. Thinks - "That should do the trick, the old ones didn't quite get to the top. anyway."

WRONG!!!

The lights were so closely packed they only went a mere 2.5 times around the tree, Necessitating a reshuffle of cabinet sometime in the near future.
