Mistletoe
A sign of love, even in unusual places, that is the spirit of christmas.
The trees are bare, but the mistletoe is growing well. This patch of trees runs down the side of Malvern Link Common and was picked out nicely in the sun.

Mistletoe, the Christmas cat, was a gift to me from one of my very good online friends a few years back... We participated in a group Secret Santa, and Mistletoe was one of the things my Secret Santa gave me! I love her and use her as decor every year.

According to Christmas custom, any two people who meet under a hanging of mistletoe are obliged to kiss.
The custom may be of Scandinavian origin.
"The mistletoe is still hung up in farm-houses and kitchens at Christmas, and the young men have the privilege of kissing the girls under it, plucking each time a berry from the bush.
When the berries are all plucked the privilege ceases."
The tradition dictates that a man is allowed to kiss any woman standing underneath mistletoe, and that bad luck would befall any woman who refused the kiss.
Mistletoe is the common name for a group of parasitic plants that grow attached to and within the branches of a tree or shrub.
The name mistletoe originally referred to the species Viscum album (European mistletoe, of the family Santalaceae in the order Santalales); it is the only species native to Great Britain and much of Europe.
A broad array of animals depend on mistletoe for food, consuming the leaves and young shoots, transferring pollen between plants and dispersing the sticky seeds

The 1980s, when beer was cheap and love was free :)
One of my 'found moments' on the streets of London.
Urban Spaces Scheme It was 1987 and I was enjoying post-student life in London, working on an environmental project at North London Polyechnic. Here are some of my friends enjoying a night out on the Holloway Road.
