With the wind howling outside this was the perfect task to be doing today. We made our way inside the church to look at the tree we were going to put up and decorate. It didn’t look that big lying on the floor!

After rolling out the barrel and collecting a pile of rocks we set about the task of slowly moving the tree upright. A bit to the the left, a bit to the right? Is it tilting? Quick put the rocks in the barrel to stop it moving!

Next was the lights, so many lights to put up. Sometimes the ladder was used sometimes a casual fling and other times the broom technique was administered. Coloured lights and white lights that would be turned on at different times. Finally the advent decorations were put on… but wait, is that a rope coming down from the ceiling? One last job to hang some decorations from the ceiling.

After the decorations were finished we admired our work (not too wonky!) with an assortment of biscuits.

Well done everyone for making it out on this blustery day. Until next time :)
