We are early for a change: giving in to Sean's insistence that we should get a tree early, we have begun the countdown to Christmas. Today we went to Whirlow Farm Shop to buy our Nordmann ("no drop" -- less said, soonest vacuumed!) deluxe 7' tree. It was all done/wrapped and paid for with uncharacteristic efficiency...once home Sean set to, managing to array every arayable bough with every conceivable coloured ball and light. Let's just hope that the tree can last for three weeks under that weight/heat...
