We went to Chatsworth at the weekend to see the house decorated for Christmas. Some of the trees were decorated with whole dried lemons -has anyone any idea how to make these? I thought that they would be a fairly cheap ornament and they smell nice too.

Loving that but as a childminder might have to pass on that one. I have enough of a time persuading Ofsted and LA that I am fine having a few glass ornaments on my front room tree.
