We're going with the "Bah - humbug" look at home this year because we are leaving here on 17th Dec to drive 700kms south to visit our older son, his wife and our grandkid Euan The Wonder Kid, who will celebrate his 2nd birthday on 19th Dec.

However I have purchased a small (very small, about 8in high) green, red and white metal tree with which to decorate our caravan over the festive season, and a string of tiny (very tiny indeed) little green LSD lights in the shape of weeny trees, for the same purpose.

On the way home we will be spending the new year weekend at a folk festival, what better way to send out one year and welcome another!
