O, Christmas Tree

Jen and I went to the Christmas Tree Farm at Ottershaw today, which is where we usually get our tree. The notice excluding liability for any loading damage was non-applicable as a helpful young member of the tree team carried it for us to the chainsaw trimming point, then put it through the netting tunnel and finished off by carrying it to.my car and ensuring I could shut the tailgate. That's what I call service. The tree is now in a bucket of water,  safely behind the side gate. It will probably be next weekend that I bring it into the front room to be festooned with lights, baubles and tinsel. O, tannenbaum. The extra is of the reverse butterfly process whereby a fully branched tree emerges from the tunnel like a netted chrysalis
