The day we decorated the tree


Had a Christmas lunch at a local Church and later went home to decorate the tree. As usual we've been running a little late with setting up our Christmas decorations. However, on returning home I had to delve deep into the bitter cold of our dark attic to fish out all the Christmas stuff. Our tree this year was pretty good although mum and dad had left it outside so it had a huge block of ice at the base which we had to smash off with a hammer. We proped it up in a bucket with rocks and began to add the fairy lights and various mix-match of baubles etc. Chesca and I are proud of our work of art but couldn't help but think that it looks a bit Ugly Betty-esque...
