Well lots will because here they are on the Forum. But I think they are wonderful; someone saying it is Christmas without all the hoopla of shopping, eating etc. Maybe also saying that lonliness is a state of mind, not a matter of being alone.
I tremendously admire those Christchurch people, and mostly those hardest hit by earthquakes, who have learned to live with road cones every few metres, on their streets, outside their houses, all pointing to dangers seen and unseen. I wish I had some pictures but they have decorated hundreds of cones with tinsel, Santa Claus hats, artificial snow, silver balls and holly, everything Christmassy, making each one into a celebration and saying in effect, "We won't be beaten, we will still and always be of good cheer."
Our TV news the other day reported that somone in the south of England had taken up this trend and decorated cones were appearing everywhere in the south.
Road cones seem to lend themselves to oddities. Some months back a lot suddenly appeared topping pine trees is forestry areas. It must have taken real determination, and climbing skills to put them in place. Some are still in place on trees along the road I travel to work. The trees themselves must be at least 20 metres high.
