Back to work!

After a brief setting up and decorating session inside the house, I realised I had a blinding headache and sniffles. And no, it wasn't the mulled wine. It was the tree.

So it had to go - outside, with the baubles and lights still aglow. Anyone else suffered such an allergy? It's set in a concrete bucket on the patio right now - which is lovely because we can view it from the sitting room. But how on earth am I ever going to recycle it, with its feet in concrete?

Yet another challenge for the New Year.

Have a good one!
