It's Christmas Pudding day tomorrow.
Fruit is drowning in brandy tonight.
Most ingredients are already measured out and waiting as it's gonna be as hot as Hades tomorrow, and the least effort the better.
Creaming the butter & brown sugar will be the toughest part.
Think of me......😅😅

Oh Santa, my Santa!
Look what arrived today!
A delightful bundle of Santa Surprises done up with a luxURious green bow!
The top one is soft and squishy and has no smell so I'm thinking it's not a marshmallow, but I could be wrong.😊
❤️❤️❤️

Moss. The Kepler Track is in a very wet part of the motu. It starts low, goes up through the treeline to alpine slopes where's it's mostly lichens and the wind can throw you over the side gusting to 130km, or maybe a blizzard, like the last time I walked it! A WONderful adventure every time.

Looks like a lichen. Spanish Moss is the stuff that hangs from trees in the southern states *and other places*. Looks like this, and can grow in massive clumps. When I was a kid we called it 'gorilla snot'.😆

Today I was going to offer up, not moss, not lichen but a fern.....couldn't find it but found this MARvellous stuff.
A lichen - possibly another growth stage of what I thought were tiny fungi the other day...??

Alrighty then, so the Christmas Angel didn't appeal to anyone....I mean he must be well into his 50's now, but I think looks rather lovely here. So, y'all are getting an epiphytic something-or-other now as well.

Having a wee sort through my pictures looking for more moss, and I came across my Christmas Angel.
Thought it only right to share him with y'all.🎄

Is it a liverwort or a lichen....I'm going lichen cos I'm like'n it.
*sorry, too much caffiene*
It IS a lichen and a friend who specialised in liverworts may have been the only one to appreciate the poor joke - the wonderful Dr Elizabeth Brown.
Please appreciate the hint of moss.

It's a little over-exposed cos it's sometimes like the inside of a cow in our deepest, wettest bush. But hey, if you're a MOSS it's heaven! *Bush is often forest here, we just say bush if there are not many massively high trees*

No, it's not moss, but it is a rather snazzy fella who likes to hang around one of the huts. Not saying which one.....you'll have to walk it.😊
