This year we got a 5ft Spruce, fancied a change from a Nordmann. The tree's in shops are very expensive over £35 for a 5ft one. We always go to the forestry commission place at Tyrebagger on the A96, nordmans were £26 there for a 5ft. I will post a picture of mine later on  |

Me too, Cherry. I do like having a Christmas tree, even though I don't decorate anywhere in the house any longer as there are just the two of us. The children used to make paper chains and so on - those days are long gone. I usually make a wreath for the door, though.  Rosie - that's a very good price for a Nordmann! They're a lot more down here.  |

That sounds familiar! ;D I'd love to have a tree outside in the porch, but there isn't a socket close enough.  |

They look lovely Floydie & Esther, perfect for the children & grandchildren. I can see you've got a little 'fence' around your tree Floydie but how do you stop the little ones from opening those presents around the bottom! ;D |

Brenda and one of the Grandkids put the tree up on Sunday. This was taken with the flash on.  This one taken without the flash on.  |

We always had real trees but last year we bought a very real looking tree from Dobbies last yr.
And if liked can spray or add a wee bit of pine spruce in centre or on christmas day can hang fresh Macintosh Apples for a christmas smell.

Looks lovely Tel. However, I can't help admiring the paintwork. Is this what you did when you moved? I could have done with borrowing your grandchildren for my tree. It took ages to put up. |
