What does the average person do three days before moving house? Buy a live Christmas tree of course. I am determined to have Christmas decorations, despite moving at a ridiculous time of year and wanted to get in before the weekend rush. Said tree is now stashed in a friend’s garden waiting to be moved in asap. Christmas decorations will indeed come before unpacking boxes.

Creating long blog posts probably isn’t on the agenda at the moment, though but I have posted about Christmas Memories and my vintage Christmas decorations on my Granny’s Tales website. I have also posted about my Christmas decorations, some of which are more than seventy years old, on this site before.

Now back to packing all those awkward last minute bits – you know the sort that never quite fit in to the boxes you have left. This is definitely the most disorganised pack I’ve ever done for a move and I can’t quite work out why. Still unpacking will be a voyage of discovery, with random mixtures in every box. I may not be here until I am on the other side and will need to wait for the wifi to be connected, hopefully that won’t be too long. See you when I have swapped the rural seventeenth century idyll for a home that is once more by the sea.
