You've got the love I need

When I was little, fairy lights were a Christmas thing.

The lights came out two weeks before Christmas, tested, bulbs replaced and set on the tree. I would happily crawl in between the fire place and the tree and gaze at the world through muted rose and blur coloured glass and be in a dream all of my own.

That was it, that was part of the magic of Christmas.

When we moved here, not too long after Christmas i met a neighbour who had fairy lights up wrapped around branches in her living room - that would be my aim

Only Himself to convince.

Its taken time - 18 years... but now as well as Christmas lights we have two sets of lights in the Living room, one set in the dining room, and Toolibelle has two sets like this in her room and they are just beautiful...

Life is better with a bit of sparkle!
