13/01/18: Abandoned Christmas trees 2018

Totteridge. The annual walk to spot abandoned Christmas trees produced 26 sightings – slightly down on the 37 from last year in Finchley (see HERE). It's fascinating to observe the different ways people dump their trees – for example, left in the gutter, leaning at a nice angle, upside down in a wheelie bin or as a shaved stick propped against a fence.

Went for a walk and saw 37 (yes, 37!) abandoned Christmas trees left on the pavements of Finchley Central. This image shows five trees in one place.

You know Christmas is really over when you start seeing these dumped in the street. This was next to the High Road in Whetstone. Another sign of the holiday season turning sour is the ambulance speeding past.
