LD 251 Christmas- or at least the cactus

I am not yet quite ready to accept that the preparations for Christmas are upon us ( though it is Advent Sunday) but this Christmas Cactus has been blooming for some weeks in the conservatory and looks set to usher in the season .

Perhaps my reticence is due to the weekend being focused on the on line SNP Conference at which I spoke this morning, having been interviewed on “Politics Scotland” first whilst later in the day I dipped into the online exhibition which is part of the impressive distanced set up.
