Lovely tree,  there appears to be a very cute rabbit, is that a Furry Moron reminder ?

What a beautiful tree 🌲

Thanks everyone 🙂 it's not bad for a bargain tree 🎄. Here's our mini kitchen tree which we bought in 1986 🤣. It's getting a bit tatty and some of the branches are getting bald, but looks okay when it's decorated 🎄.

All looking very festive there HHoD 🎄🎄🎄
I remember going to the Green Shield stamp shop near Kendal’s. I also remember walking under the tunnel to the other side of Kendal’s near where Waterstones is now. 👍Sorry Hairy we’ve hi-jacked your diary with Manchester memories.
I’m hoping to have a straight house and decorations up by next weekend...😂😂😂😂...wish me luck with that one 😳😳😳😂😂😂
Do you know what your ds is doing for Christmas yet?

Thanks Milann 🙂. I'd love to upgrade our Christmas trees 🎄🎄 but this is not the year to do it.
DS3 is coming home on 19 December, we're going to collect him the day after I break up. He has a private landlord so can come home when he likes.

My parents remember this too. They said it took you to St Anne's square 
There was a travel shop there too they said x

There was a school uniform shop there too (Barries?) that my mother was so disgusted with that after the first dress she refused to buy any more & made them herself.  She said she had seen skirts with more material in them during the war than they had!
I'd forgotten about the underpass!

Well Devon is in Tier 2 which I fully expected as we were heading that way before the latest lockdown. We can't see anyone indoors, but with the virus levels high I'm not sure I want to, although as I spend every day at school with dozens of adults and hundreds of children it does seem a bit bonkers sometimes 🙄.

Thanks Elizabeth 🙂. The arctic hare bauble is from the NT shop and DS1 bought it for half price last year in the after Christmas sale. He bought an arctic fox bauble at the same time. We all like rabbits in this house  🐰🐇.
