My wife and I visited Longwood back in the Eighties. They had a beautiful topiary display of the Wizard of Oz characters. A wonderful gem of a garden

I think a reminder of joy and beauty is most necessary in such very dark times. And I find myself completely charmed by the lady mouse!

I'd start buying ornaments some years back. They signify thing from jobs to foreign places, lots of pickles to hide too.

I'm afraid I would want all of them, and I don't even decorate for Christmas anymore. Used to collect ornaments, and these are right up my alley.
I really want the mouse ornament.

The glass bird ornaments (third pic from last) are antiques (at least 100 years old). The antique ornament tree is in a cordoned room.
