Yesterday Isaac asked me if we are going to Coombe Mill again this year for Christmas and was really disappointed when I explained that we couldn’t go this year because Daddy has to work.
For the past two years we have joined Fiona and her family at their beautiful farm and it will be a big change being at home this year so we have decided we will have to start making some new traditions.
There are two things we will really miss from Coombe Mill and that is the roaring log burner welcoming us in from a brisk walk on the chilly farm and the smell of a real Christmas tree. Sadly there is nothing we can do about the log burner, but for the first time ever we will be having a real Christmas Tree at home thanks to the team at Pines and Needles.
Each Pines and Needles tree are guaranteed premium quality, and every effort is made to select only the finest examples of each species plus all of their trees are grown on plantations, and for every tree that is felled, three more are replanted.
Our Christmas tree is always a focal point of our festive living room and our old 7ft artifical tree used to pretty much take over all the spare space. This year we will be trying something a little new and different this year with new lights and decorations, some which we will attempt to make by ourselves.
Pines and Needles have offered my readers a fabulous £10 discount on any online Christmas Tree sale using CM10 plus you will also receive a free mini tree , holly and mistletoe.
I would love a real tree but not being able to drive does pose a problem and living in a doll’s house adds to that! lol! I have an artificial tree 🙂
With a kitten that is as mad as a box of frogs, we have decided not to have a tree this year x
I would love a real tree except the last time we had one the dog wee’d on it so we haven’t had one since lol x
We usually have a real tree and I love them. The smell is just amazing. However we have a toddler who likes to explore and climb so last year we had an artificial one and this year will be the same. I can’t wait until we can get a real tree again 🙂
We need a new tradition this year too – it’s the first year in 6 years that we won’t be going to Centerparcs in December 🙁 Kaz x
