the annual christmas tree chopping
yesterday was the first day the girls and i had a chance to go and chop down our christmas treet
off we went boldly in to the 'forest' to select our tree
can you see kezia in this picture ?
once we'd chosen our tree we then got to work chopping it down
unfortunately the one we chose was half dead - but we only discovered once we'd dragged it home which was a big disappointment (20 pounds worth of disappointment to be exact). i chopped the dead bits off and now it's a christmas stick. oh well - something to watch out for next year.
At least by choosing a dead tree you can avoid the part where you kill it by bringing it into a centrally heated house and forgetting to water it :-)
good thinking. that was of course the idea behind getting a dead one to begin with. cough.
