Christmas tree

We had our annual tree disaster today - it fell over whilst we were out and smashed a good many of the new black, white and glass baubles.

Last year it started to fall whilst someone was stood next to it and they managed to stop it going completely. You'd think we would have learned from the experience.

A four metre tree is a bit of a handful to get upright and straight at the best of times but we thought we had it balanced and secure - it stood up for over twenty four hours anyway and then decided to fall over.

It was a bit of a mess to be honest - so now it is tied back to the wall so that it can't fall - and Debrah went out to buy some new baubles and it looks better now than it did before. There is always a silver lining.
