Default Standard Bay Trees

Someone was asking a little while back about either Standard or Specimen Bay
Trees. Well I have been involved in a Wedding recently at my daughter's and
son in law's, they borrowed both of my Gazebos, and those doing the flowers,
brought in a couple of Standard Bay Trees in pots. REAL, LIVE Bay Trees. My
daughter already had plastic ones and these were used too, but have a look
at the pictures in the following link, but before you go, read my notes ;-)

NOTES.

On picture 1129, if you click on the picture twice to enlarge it, you will
see two standard Bay Trees either side of the path in front of the pillars
in pots. They are plastic, BUT, behind that, to the right of the door, with
directions to the Bar, which is a REAL Standard Bay supplied by the florists
who did the Wedding.



1130 shows some of the grounds for the Photo Shoot



1131, when clicked on twice, enlarges so you can see the real Standard Bay
tree



1132 shows the other REAL Bay before the Caterers set up the Champagne
Tables



1133 shows the tables set for the reception



1147 shows both plastic and real and grounds for Photo Shoot



Fantastic success, the weather was superb, ................................
but then it was the Isle of Wight with the Sunshine Record
