Jillian Godsil 1. My youngest normally does our christmas decorations but she is away until Christmas eve -
Jillian Godsil 2. I didn’t buy a real tree because a good friend is allergic to the sap
-
Jillian Godsil 3. I couldn’t find the old one for ages and finally I did but I appear to have lost the middle piece for I am sure it was taller than that before
-
Jillian Godsil 4. The two pieces I did find were very squashed and despite pulling and prodding I was not able to much improve their appearance
-
Jillian Godsil 5. I was also unable to locate the stand
-
Jillian Godsil 6. A stable boot (a work boot), surrounding by bundles of election pamphlets makes a passable stand
-
Jillian Godsil 7. but it is liable to movement with very little encouragement
-
Jillian Godsil 8. So the application of lights was problematic – every time I tried to wind a strand around the tree, it fell over
-
Jillian Godsil 9. I partially covered what branches remained outstanding with the lights with some effort
-
Jillian Godsil 10. I then tried to hang ornaments but the wobbliness of the tree meant that I had to hang them more for balance than ornament
-
Jillian Godsil 11. this I managed and turned on the lights to deliver the wonderful view that you can see
-
Jillian Godsil 12. And then I blamed the cat!!!!
