The gap in the foreground is space for a Holly tree which is on its way. J c van Tol, the one without prickles that has loads of red berries.

'Golden King' by any chance?

No, J C Van Tol! No variegation, just a nice price-free deep glossy green, and bright red berries. Nice upright growth too.

Karen, I think I've taken a riddy. Can you tell I'm reading some Tartan noir fiction at the moment?!!

:) sorry! Never heard that one. Is it Glaswegian? Cause that’s a whole different ball game!

It is indeed set in Glasgow and a riddy translates as a blushing face from embarrassment. That's only one of a few words I have needed to look up!

Ah yes….Black affronted is our way of saying deeply ashamed or embarrassed. It means you went so deeply red you actually went black! Not in an ethnic way…just very dark red! lol!
