Next Thursday, January 6th, known in Ireland as Little Christmas or Womens Christmas, is the last day of of the season so it is time to take down the decorations.
I didn’t get a frost to naturally decorate my tree but this morning an obliging mist gave it a nice romantic sparkle and showed up the spiders efforts to decorate it for us.
The decorations are mostly junk shop purchases of old pieces of chandeliers and god knows what,anything which we reckoned would stand up to the weather outdoors.
We were pleased with our outdoor tree, I think a new tradition has started, especially if this one survives in its pot.
