Strangely, it seems to be the people further South who have the snow. Up here in York - nothing. We did chuckle when we heard that the Lincoln Christmas Market had been cancelled because of the weather - a bit too Christmassy perhaps?Putting the lights up outside is by far the worst job in my opinion! That's the one to get out of the way for sure. Especially before the snow comes in... you might have it already up there (I'm further South, we're expecting it tomorrow )
Anyway, the tree is up, but we have had another lights crisis. We have so many sets from years gone by, indoor and outdoor. One set did nothing at all. The ones we used last year half worked and half didn't, due to a broken wire - possibly fixable, but not when the tree is waiting to be decorated. Another set went on but were too few and too faint. So another was added, but the blue LEDs were too bright!!! So....off to our local light seller I went, and we now have yet another set, and everyone is happy. Phew...
