Green leaves in mid-December
December 15th, 2005 § 2 Comments
Under the big oak at the end of my road – one of my favourite trees in London.
There’s been plenty of things I’ve been meaning to blog about lately – Alabama 3 at Jamm in Brixton playing an amazing acoustic set (with our West country buddies J.E.V.E. rocking to a full house), Christmas madness on Oxford and Regent Street, how Apple makes geekery cool, the del.icio.us buyout by Yahoo! and our lovely new flat (got the keys last night, whoop!) – to name a few.
But the overriding concern on my mind at the moment is why are there still green leaves on the trees in mid-December?
I wasn’t here last year to see this change in seasons to remember when exactly things happen but I’m sure the leaves should have fallen by now. I haven’t even kicked through any large piles of unsuspecting leaves this year (not easy in London but there’s normally the odd heap, trapped by the wind in a street corner, just waiting to be kicked about).
What’s going on?
