Sorry I haven't written anything sooner it has been hectic, what with the jet lag, finding a Christmas job, My birthday (thanks for all the well wishes) and generally setting in to a new place.
I could tell you a lot more about it ... but I thought I would tell you about our expedition to find a Christmas tree instead.
We decided to have a real Christmas tree this year as it seemed a Canadian thing to do and there where signs everywhere advertising them ... most of them said 'U Cut'.
So off we drove to find Christmas tree place ... not really knowing what to expect. We arrived to a very busy looking place, with lots of people carrying or wheeling trees to there car. We spent a few minutes looking around the ready cut and the the 'Charlie Brown' (not quite straight trees) and thinking that this would be the easier options, but to be sure we thought we would take a saw and have a look around.
There where hundreds of Fir trees, 4 different species and all varying heights, widths etc, we didn't know where to begin.Eventually we found a tree, and we cut it down and put it back to the car. The Tree shop people then provided with hot chocolate to warm our hands up with.
A quick trip to the shop, to get lights (not quite enough) and decorations and we had a good afternoon decorating our tree.
Helen and Neil, brought us an early Christmas present - a fire set so we lit the fire to achieve the Christmas Card picture. Now all we need is the snow!
