St Marks Christmas Trees

17/11/2024

Happy Xmas tree picking time 😅😅😅.

No sorry its not a happy I'm back posy, really sorry 😱

But for anyone in the game, I have 2 tree nettes that are for sale, and a load of net, I'm maybe a little late mentioning that seeing as it's middle of Nov 🤣.

Good condition, ones only a few years old, nets been kept stored and dry.

Thanks all, and hope your trees are all wonderful for this year 😀😀😀.

Happy weekend all.

Well maybe not so happy 😬
I had hoped that I would have good news for you all.

Unfortunately the partners i had set up to allow our trees to be sold from our normal place, has fallen though.. no fault of anyone it just came down to time limits on both parties. ..

So once again, we won't be selling trees, and I don't think we will be again in the future.

It was a last ditch hope to save it, but alas I think that is now the end of St Marks Trees,m all good things must come to an end 🥲.

I hope you all have a great Christmas its been a pleasure dealing with you all over the years.

I hope to see some of you take advantage of our amazing tyre prices at GT Autos .
Along with being one of the cheapest tyre suppliers on island, our service and repairs are highly competitive for all your car needs.

So thanks again and we hope to see you soon for some tyres 😀😀.

Happy weekend all. No no it's not Christmas yet 🤣🤣.
(We can only dream)

After a long hard think, and reflecting back on the past year.

I have come to the conclusion that I am unable to carry on St Marks Christmas Trees 😮‍💨😪.

If your going todo a job you got todo it right, and you have to plough everything you got into it.
And I 100% can't do that now. And rather than give a bad service, I'd rather bow out and call it a day.

I have got to think of my long term future and other business that I run or involved in, how ever much i dislike this choice i have to trim down the lvl of work I do and narrow my work load down.

Where before running multiple jobs, buissness doing regular 60-70h a week was just a walk in the park, and pretty much what I loved doing, the more the better 😀.
It's just not possible now 😬.

I had a wonderful 6 or so years doing it, and so many fond memories, so I thank you all for giving me them memories.

It's been a blast and a hoot, but as they say "all good things come to an end"

Just to let you know I will be seeing if FB will allow me to merge this page with GT Autos. Defo not as pretty as seeing the trees 💗.
I won't be deleting this page, as far too many memories todo that, but if I can't merge it, I may use it to promote the garage somewhat.

So if you wish to unfollow this page now then please do, Or maybe you could follow GT Autos and you be sure to save money on your next set of tyres.

I hope you all have a wonderful year, summers coming get out and enjoy it, and live your best life 🥳

All the best Gareth. 😎😎😎😎

Hello everybody 🙂.

Norm at this time of year this post would be the one you have been waiting for 🎄.

Unfortunately and it has been a hard choice to make, but I will not be selling or doing Xmas trees this year 😯 due to my own on going health issue 🤕.

I held off as long as I can to announce this, in the hope that maybe just maybe that I would be in some shape or form well enough and strong enough to carry this out, uptill yesterday the choice still had not been made.

It transpires that hope is stronger than the body and the body finally admitted defeat for this year 😓😰.

I really don't fancy 2 months in bed again if I'm honest😐, which is what happend at the end of last year 🙄, and while I know my stubbonness to carry on will push me though that mad 7 week period, the end result is a long road back to half normal.
I always said my Brain was trying to kill me, its sort of been proved right 🤣.

But I would like to thank each and every one of the tree fans past and present the best Xmas this year, and I'm sorry that we can't be apart of this special time of year with you all.
It has been one of the hardest choices of my life to make, and I am so sorry to have let you guys down 😬.

From the humble start we have grown each year, with more and more Tree fans joining us each year, so I thank you all that helped me grow and the ones that came back each and every year.

We started in a horse box and a garage, to building a dedicated tree shed, which maybe should have been a lot bigger with the growth we had 😀

And while I may not know all your names (terrible with names😵‍💫) I 100% know all your faces when I see you.

From floods to snow to Gail force winds, we had it all 😀.

From the quick easy choice of "that tree will do" down to the ones I 100% know will make me show you each and every tree and you still pick the first 1 I said is best 😉 (you know who you are) 🤣🤣🤣🤣, I would not change it for the world as it part of the fun 😀.

Fingers crossed we be back next year 😁😁

Thank you all once again for your support over the past 7 years, its that support that made us 🥰🥰.

And on a final note, if you found our tree service good, maybe consider OUR tyre buissness that can be found here GT Autos . Ran with the same dedication and customer values as you have had when buying a tree.

Good luck all and enjoy your Christmas take care 🙂🙂🙂
