Chinese New Year!
If you are celebrating the lunar New Year, I hope you enjoy your holiday and time off work.
This monkey is part of the (16thC?) plasterwork in the old court (as in court-room) area of Chirk Castle in Wales; I visited the castle (and took the photo) last year on one of my Northerly trips. The 蟠桃 long life peach does not appear in the original; I don't think it grows in Wales.
Wishing you all happiness, good health and success in the year of the Monkey!
