Allotments 4 All

Would be lovely to see all of the trees decorated by A4Aers!  Here's mine, finished it last night.  Sorry about the picture colours, I don't really live in a flourescent room!  I haven't quite got the hang of 'night time' shots yet, lol.  I've got four sets of lights on it but because three of them are twinklies, I couldn't catch them in the photo!

That's my kind of tree! :D

Got mine out of the loft about 1/2 hour ago....bit late this year.

Will post a piccie when its up!

Is that a photo of me on the side Sammy.   :o       ;D ;D ;D

Your tree looks gorgeous. [attachment=1]

Hoping to put my tree up at the weekend, will do pic then

I love that tree!

Lovely tree Sam.  We decorated mine a week ago.  i had just come out of hospital from an op and we went to the cottage where we will be for Christmas.  Cheered me up and got me into the Christmas spirit :-)  I spent all day slowly doing the tree (as I couldn't bend after the op!) whilst my other half set up the broadband we can finally have (now it's come to the village!)  the tree is not "well dressed" but it has "evolved" over the years...  no room now for anything new...  :-[  ::)  no spare branches!!!

I like an owl on the top of my tree (as well as other critters amongst the tree too!)  ;D

I am hoping for snow this Christmas... it's forecast at the mo...

 Sammy your tree looks lovely, i shall be round to see it when you are better.

I just can`t believe i have no tree this year :'( :'( :'(,i wish we had moved in the summer maybe all the work would be almost finished.
Enjoy your tree all you lucky peeps, i shall just look at other peoples  :'(.
Mat yous looks very nice lucky you.
I know perhaps i could put it in the bathroom :o :o Hahahaha.

Same here Mary, no tree. Family say I am an old misery but as I spend most of my time next door with Lorna and Josh or at one of the other children's houses I just can't build up the enthusiasm. I just share the joy of theirs ;D
Samantha and Mat your trees look lovely.

Lovely trees Sam and Mat. 

We aren't putting ours up this year as we have everything everywhere including a new bathroom suite in the front room!  OH is putting in a new suite and needs to redirect pipes, then tile it all before putting the new suite in.

We have a small, fibre optic, white tree in the dining room.

Thanks for the nice comments :)

Mat, I love your tree.  The wildlife theme is brilliant and it looks so lovely with the wise old owl watching down (making sure you don't spend too much ... )

To those who've not got trees up this year for one reason or another, do you miss them or rather glad to be rid of the hassle? LOL

That's you on top of the tree  :-* lol

And .... more trees please!  :D

They are lovely, you have inspired me to grovel about and find the tree.  A bit of a humbug about Christmas here, daughter usually arrives and sorts it out.

ours is up ready for the birthday party at the weekend, all glass baubles now, including some of my mum's from 1960  :o ;D
wish I could take a decent one with the lights on but it doesn't half blur  :)

'Hassle'? Never! I even love the 'tradition' of the lights, which worked perfectly when they were put away in January, not working come December. One of Life's Mysteries, that.. ;D

I'm going to be in the US for Christmas (thankfully my flight is NOT booked with BA >:() and I'll be arriving on Monday. Praps they'll be fetching in the tree this w/end? Dunno, but I'll certainly be adding the Finishing Touches - I'm taking the chocolate tree decorations 8)

Meanwhile, here at home, I'm having peeps call in on Sat. night for mince pies & drinks & stuff & to boozily bellow out some Christmas carols, and yes, there'll be a Christmas tree, a little white artificial one I've got stored away. and which I'll get out on Friday and be packed away on Sunday. And it will be decorated with carved wooden robins. Wanna Nowl to put on top ;D

Cameras on the blink so the picture's not very goodThe grandaughter 8 "helped
" decorate it and I remember when she was a tiny and her contribution to the decorating was to LICK every bauble :o

Two more lovely trees, thanks Manic and Mac.  Am I the only one who loves to look in people's windows at their lights and trees as I walk past or drive past at night? LOL

I wish I could.  Think we'll leave it in the garden for as long as the snow stays around.   :)
