Today we got our Christmas tree. It was one of the two remaining for sale in the village. Because the weather is so wet we decided not to look any further. It's a bit bottom heavy, but where else would we get a six foot tree for £12?
Here's Dave carrying the tree home (we live just round the corner). He loves doing this. I think it reminds him of his family Christmas times in Oregon, where they used to go out on the farm and cut down a tree to bring inside.
The root system looks healthy so we've put it in a wheelbarrow of water to try and keep it fresh till we bring it in next week for my daughters to decorate. They both come home on Thursday.
Hopefully next time I post up a picture of the tree it will look more handsome.
I had forgotten that your husband is American. A three foot tree here was £15 and a five foot one was £40! Have fun decorating.

Wow that is a fab bargain! By the way thanks for those links for wool, ordered off the ebay page you gave me and can't wait to get started with the kiddies :-) x
