About Me

No Fixed Abode, Home Counties, United Kingdom
I’m a 60-year-old Aspergic gardening CAD-Monkey. Sardonic, cynical and with the political leanings of a social reformer, I’m also a toy and model figure collector, particularly interested in the history of plastics and plastic toys. Other interests are history, current affairs, modern art, and architecture, gardening and natural history. I love plain chocolate, fireworks and trees, but I don’t hug them, I do hug kittens. I hate ignorance, when it can be avoided, so I hate the 'educational' establishment and pity the millions they’ve failed with teaching-to-test and rote 'learning' and I hate the short-sighted stupidity of the entire ruling/industrial elite, with their planet destroying fascism and added “buy-one-get-one-free”. Likewise, I also have no time for fools and little time for the false crap we're all supposed to pretend we haven't noticed, or the games we're supposed to play. I will 'bite the hand that feeds', to remind it why it feeds.

N is for Nutcrackers in November, Naturally! 2 of 2

So, as a follow-up to the previous post this was the 'tower of nutcrackers' at Longacre garden centre in Bagshot about a week ago, compared to the New York display, I think less razzmatazz and more fur!

I think they're dogs? Could be bears, but I think they're dogs!
 
The hall of the Mice Kings!
 



The Tower of Nutcrackers!
 

Ethnic nutcrackers this year, but no highlanders!
 

Jesters!
 
I've seen many, but only shot this lot, and there's a tendency for each venue/outlet to have a different theme, one of the garden centres out beyond Farnham had mostly white/silver 'minimalist types, and we still have a couple to come here, in addition to the drumming bear we saw the other day!
