This Year's Tree

WEDNESDAY

This morning, I did a bit more decorating - just touching up a wall and painting a couple of windowsills. I’m hoping that’s the last of the decorating for 2024! 

After that, I added the finishing touches to the Christmas tree, and then headed down to Sainsbury’s for some more shopping.

This evening, Prue and I joined Lise and Mair at a packed village pub for the Christmas Quiz. We were thrilled to finish in second place—quite an achievement, considering the competition!

Our Christmas tree holds lots of memories as it’s adorned with decorations from a lot of the countries we’ve visited over the years (plus some recent ones  collected by Harriet and George on their travels) including ones from: Canada, Czech Republic, Estonia, Faroe Islands, Finland, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Isle of Man, Latvia, Lithuania, Montenegro, Northern Ireland, Poland, Scotland,  Slovakia, Sweden and England.

And a question from the quiz:

How many "times does the word "La" occur in the first verse of "Deck the Halls"?
