Number 5



Don't they look sad undressed!!
12th night is odd really, putting and packing away all the decorations until next year. The festive season is finally over. Then as you move the tree out, theres suddenly space, no clutter of cards and decorations and a feeling of a fresh start! Well thats what 12th night does for me!!

I puzzles me why my decorations never seem to fit back into the boxes they came out of ?
It always feels a bit bare after the tree goes doesn't it..?

That is what I will be doing on 12th night.

Shame - but we soon get used to it again.

I would most certainly agree however you have a wonderful view out that window... is it the sea that I see! Perhaps a simple bouquet of orchids and roses will do! Hello NG

Is that a potted tree that you'll be planting? I was trying to decide if the 5th or 6th is the 12th night. I understood the counting started with the 25th (so the 5th is the 12 night). I don't have a tree up, but do have other decorations that will come down tomorrow. I'm looking forward to the fresh start too as i moved out a number of tidbits in order to display Christmas items. Now to decide what goes back in. Enjoy.

Nt it is the sea.......... a sea of mud at the moment!!! No sadly I don't live close to the sea we are way out in the country!
Petunia it is potted, we treated ourself this year £20 it cost and hopefully we will have it for many a year, its currently sat outside that window!!
But there seems to be lots more space now!!!!
