She's a lady!
The weather was absolutely foul on Saturday, so naturally, that was the day we opted to shop for our Christmas tree. Goes without saying eh?

ReplyDeleteYour tree looks lovely. We still haven't found time to put ours up! Yikes.

Shudder! Spiders!!!!! I've noticed they breed 'em big in Allington Hilary ... our bathroom certainly seems to attract 'em in the Autumn!
ReplyDeleteCatherine, I couldn't resist a peek - your tree looks beautiful! The lighting is magical!
