the week after the birthdays we went with some friends out of London to choose our Christmas tree out of a planted forest full of different types of trees. We opted for the Nordman and chose the tallest most well balanced lovliest one we could find. What fun to be running around the trees, playing hide n seek, choosing, deciding, doubting & then sweeping in for the kill. Jeff got down on hands and knees and cut the lovely tree down for our own selfish use - we thanked the creator for the generosity - Before enjoying hot chocolate (with Baileys - yum!) and mince pies. Then we stuffed tree, muddy boots and excited dog into car and drove all the way home, loving the countryside on a low sun winters afternoon. It sure beat stopping at the local carpark for a tree - What a treet!
