Chritmas Tree
Headed out into the frosty garden in search of the perfect tree! After a lenthy hunt to find the saw, stepladder and another saw because the first one wasn’t sharp enough, I was beginning to think a nice 30€ tree from the local leclerc would be much easier. I was convinced of this after battling my way through the undergrowth (of which there is a lot, mainly bramble) to get a good sawing position. Getting the stepladder firmly on four legs was a highly irritating task so I gave up in the end and settled for balancing on a couple of legs. Swaying away in the freezing cold, snagging myself on the handy brambles I though of that handy tree….. however, after cutting, lugging and potting, the decorating was huge fun and the end result most satisfying. Fun had by all!

Somewhat difficult to see the tree in all its glory as the photo is so small (besides being rotated sideways) but I can attest to the great satisfaction gained from hewing your own Yuletide branch!
