Tree diversification

This morning, although we were not expecting any parcels to be delivered, we heard the familiar beep from the posties horn. It was all very exciting when Brian brought in our first couple of Christmas cards and a small brown parcel. “I think we need to go and get the tree”, I exclaimed. I’m not sure if I believed I was about to get an influx of Christmas presents that needed a tree to go under, or just that this year I wanted to enjoy the tree for just that little bit longer.

We’d picked up a card for someone selling trees in a boulangerie the other day, and realised it was the same place that we’d been to last year. It’s a champagne producer in Polisot, who has obviously diversified. His trees are great quality, and we paid just 31 euros for a 250 cm tree. I also picked up some loose cut off branches for free.
