Its been a lovely sunny day here in North Yorkshire which coincided with
me using up one remaining day of annual holiday. Home alone, well me and
the dog, I decided to have a good tidy up which then led to one of my
favourite garden activities a great big bonfire. I have accumulated masses
of prunings etc. over the last few months but just have not had the free
time with the wind in the right direction to burn it all. What better way
of spending a couple of hours on a cold day that tending a bonfire.

The yews next to the drive I heavily pruned (cut about 15 feet off one) 3
years back are now nice and bushy and just right for some festive
lighting. So last job of the day, trail lights on 3 yews along the drive,
run power cables to garage, and set up old immersion timer to switch them
on and off.

Can't wait for it to get dark so I can see the effect.

Put the lights at the front of our house, over the wisteria, today. Now the
neighbours will all know it's Christmas. Some have already commented that
I'm late this year. Also put the tree up indoors and decorated it so we
really are ready now. Haven't trees gone up in price this year.

Dunno, I've used the same 10' artificial tree in my conservatory for
the last 7 years, it looks good and moults hardly at all.
