I was beginning to think I would not have anything to write about but on the 2nd Jan we took down the Christmas decorations. I know this is before we should but as they have been up since the 1st December it was time to take them down. So I removed all of the baubles, lights and tinsel off the tree. But how to get the tree out of the house without pine needles pinging everywhere?? I remembered back to my childhood and vaguely remember mum and dad putting the tree inside an old duvet and then carrying it out. We thought we would try this.

It started well but then I think the tree was just too big!! Iain now looks like Santa!!
