Mistletoe

We were walking around the Frampton Lakes today and I decided to take pictures of the Mistletoe. This part of the world has many trees with Mistletoe Balls prominent on them-possibly because of so many orchards in the West Country. Apparently there is more than 1500 species of Mistletoe!  So guess what the quiz is today and the pictures in the blog (also one picture looking across Court Lake!)

Anyone out there in a school who wants some free virtual  Christmas Story Telling please get in touch a.s.a.p
