On Sunday, we made a final farewell to Albert – who served us so well over the Christmas season – before taking him down to the Christmas Tree Graveyard at Gunnersbury Park.
Laying him down with all the other discarded Christmas trees was a sad moment. All the hopes and dreams for the Christmas mornings of spoilt children that those trees collectively represented, only to be discarded into a pile with nary a thought for what their future holds (probably a date with a man wearing some overalls, at a restaurant called “The Chipper”).
Well, whatever happens to you Albert, thanks for doing such a swell job at holding up our Christmas decorations. You’ll always be in our memories of Christmas 2009.

I discovered today that they go through a chipper then end up as mulch in London parks…
