Amazingly I am not the first person to mention Christmas in this month’s squares. Like the others when I spotted the photo I just knew I had to include it in #TreeSquare. So hope everyone will forgive me!! I probably should beg forgiveness for my title too as the first Christmas Trees wouldn’t have looked anything like this. However I didn’t want to mention Christmas in my title so thought instead I’d include a little bit of history.

PS Talking of history, I thought you might be interested to visit a part of my work life which has been taking up my non-square and sometimes my square time this month. I am both a trustee of and volunteer director for Hampshire History Trust, and every September we coordinate Heritage Open Days in this part of Hampshire. It is a FREE heritage and history festival. There will be more than 100 in-person events and online events this year, so wherever you are in the world you can join in the fun. Here’s the programme, well around 75% of the programme the remaining 25% I’ll be adding in the next few weeks!
Sorry I missed this tree, Becky. It’s gorgeous. Christmas time is such a fun time to take pictures. Mine don’t usually come out that well, though. 🙂

That’s good. I didn’t visit as many as I planned as you know, I had some obstacles. This week I twisted my knee playing pickleball on Wednesday. Can you believe it? So I’m in stuck my recliner 70% of the time at least till Monday when I see the dr to find out what’s wrong. I didn’t break anything, thank God. My goal is still to visit all the entries, it takes longer on my phone!

It would be hard to recognize the word. I’ve been watching lots of British films. It helps to have the captions on! LOL

Ah, Christmas in July. A very pretty tree, Becky. I like the simple use of lights to make the space feel festive.

Love your silvery cascade of a tree, Becky, though would rather not think of Xmas just yet. Another baobab from me:
