After the TOTAL stress seems to be gone I can for once take care of Christmas cards.
Means a trip to the city. Or... DIY? Either way I´ll then see our lille post office in Braunschweig Ringgebiet - this mural again is from Bayswater.
And... well, where to go?
"Our everyday objects and their unusual origin stories
Chewing Gum
In the 19th century, Mexican President Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna asked the inventor Thomas Adam to produce rubber from a milky latex material from the Central American sapodilla tree, called chicle. The rubber did not prove successful, but Adam found another use for it."
Chewing gum?

Thank you, dear friend Linda, warm hugs and much love sent on the way back 🥰
Lovely murals and adorable Henry!
Thanks to our host, the murals :-)
Interesting info about the chewing gum. When I was young we had a brand of chewing gum called "chiclet", which now I know comes from the name of that latex material. Fun fact :) I love that mural, it's so cute. Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Iris.
Great mural! You really have some good ones near you.
I really like the mural. And the chewing gum story
To chewing gum and "your" murals, kinda! :-)
No, this is near Perth!
Yes, there are many more in Baywater. And to yum.
Hello Iris,
Happy December! I love the mural, it is really beautiful. Thanks for the bubble gum story. Henry's cub is adorable. Take care, have a happy day and a great week!
...we all can look forward to spring.
That's a cool mural. The little dog in it is so cute. Happy new month and new week to you Iris. hugs-Erika
Thank you, I do my best and wish you the same! Hugs
I´ll dive straight into summer, Tom. And then back to winter, oh, gack!
Yes, Perth and suburbs are just better! To a new month, hope fully a good one, hugs

Nice mural, Iris. I saw those trees when I was in Mexico last winter.
I'm liking the mural especially the purple flowers, are they Jacaranda trees? there are a ton of them in the far north of NZ.
Hope he gets what he wants!
They are so beautiful, RedPat!
Yupp, Jacaranda trees, whole streets are full of them in Spring. Beautiful!
The murals are fabulous, Iris. That story of gum. I hadn't even thought of how it came to be. Very interesting. Have a great day.
The murals are lovely.
All the best Jan
That is actually "Bubble Gum" for blowing bubbles, regular chewing gum is different and doesn't blow bubbles.
I love the mural with all the butterflies following the lady's basket and those "street signs"
Oh, ja... Natürlich mag ich Kaugummi. Allerdings ruinierte es mir beim Kauen eine Zahnplombe. ;)
Und welchen Weg hast du nun gewählt? Den Stress ablegen vor Weihnachten ist definitiv auch meine/ unsere Entscheidung. Wenn es sich irgendwie bewerkstelligen lässt.
Daher: ruhige adventliche Grüße von Heidrun 🌟
Thank you, well, and Sami - and yes, interesting about the everyday-gum, huh!
Yes, sweet!
There are different kinds of chewing gum? I think here we have but one...? Not that I blow bubbles anymore... hm, old... I am old.
Yes, a great mural Sami showed me!
Ohje, was?! Na, ob ich jetzt noch Kaugummi...
Ach, Weihnachten feiern wir gar nicht - wir haben ja keine Kinder.
Wir gehen auf den Markt, wenn Ingo es schafft, quält er mich aufs "Riesenrad" und das wars....
Also dito; ruhige, adventliche Grüße zurück 🤶
Wonderful mural work.
That is Perth-area - soon again!
