Gold Leaf
Following yesterday's tree debacle I did some pruning today and the hall now looks a little bit less like Middle Earth.
Today's discovery is that if you ever buy a real Christmas tree that is too big, then if you burn the offcuts they look absolutely amazing - like some kind of golden tentacled creature.
I thought they'd smell a bit nicer as well, but you can't have everything I guess.
