Wednesday: Official Tree

The tree went up in the house today.  I do find it hard to get Christmassy here - I think it’s to do with the temperatures.  The tree also doesn’t feel particularly personal - they’re not our decorations and it’s the staff who put it up.  It’s in the ‘official’ part of the house which we don’t spend much time in but it’s still nice to see it in passing.

To make the event special, K cooked up a splendid roast pork, with roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings etc for the 4 member of the house team.  We had a lovely lunch with the team, including Chippy and Lee, the handyman and gardener.
