We normally put our Christmas tree up on the first day of December so we can enjoy it for the whole month. This year however, we won’t be able to, due to moving. It just wouldn’t make sense to put it up and take it all down again.
We have however bought the lights! The picture above is our shed which we thought needed a bit of brightening up. The lights are amazing – not only are they 20m in length (10m from plug socket to the beginning of the lights and another 10m of lights!), but they have four colours in, rather than the usual 2.
There are also 8 different options to click through on the control box, like twinkling and chasing. Once we get moved they will get transferred to our tree! We got them from Dobbies here. I think it’s important to get lights that will last – for the last three years we’ve pulled last years out of the box in December and they have broken!
An empty garden has never looked so twinkly!

Good luck with the house move. If I remember right my tree lights broke last year and I need some new ones.

This looks so lovely – I think we might aim to decorate the allotment next year, as we probably spend more time there than in the house
