Today was more clearing, this time paperwork before the recycling collection tomorrow. After lunch I popped through to Booths at Windermere for a few groceries (and to put some now unused clothes in a recycling container there). The blip shows the first Christmas trees I’ve seen on sale this year. My trolley wasn’t big enough!

Truth is that I haven’t had a real tree for many years since I spent one Christmas with terrible hay fever symptoms. Don’t know if it was the tree or something it had been treated with but I decided to stick with a fake one after that.
