Advent Day 9: Christmas toadstool
On Christmas Eve 2019 we took a stroll to the nearby area of Scotstoun to view its Living Advent Calendar. Each evening in December, one more window had been illuminated. On the 24th, we got to see them all.
Number 9 – a toadstool.
The Glasgow Gallivanter 
Are the houses as lovely as they appear from the windows in this area?

The core of the area is early 20th century terraces. A sort of garden suburb. They do look lovely outside but I don’t know anyone who lives there and have never been inside one.

Sounds nice.

in northern German dialect mushrooms are called “Poggenstool”, meaning chair for a frog.

Ah Sweet Amanita. Eat one of them and it will not be love you will be feeling under the moon and stars Funny how certain colour combinations attract humans. Similar to ladybirds. Both appear a lot in children’s books as traditional favourites..

Red was always my favourite colour as a child! Still not entirely convinced that a toadstool is Christmassy.

Love this! The mushroom, even though it is very poisonous, is considered good luck in Germany.

Ah, maybe that’s why they chose it.

The email notification in my inbox just said ‘Christmas toads…’ so I wondered what you’d been photographing 🙂 🙂 I like this, it’s certainly very bright 🙂

Ha ha, to the best of my knowledge, no toads featured in this advent calendar! Not entirely sure how toadstools fit in either (a perch for the Christmas elves maybe), but I agree it’s bright and cheerful.
