Christmas Tree

Well Christmas has come to our little home in West Sussex, we braved the crowds at the shops and bought our first ever Christmas tree since we got married , I had a feeling like a little mini tradition was starting in our household, so the lights are twinkling and the presents are stacking up under the tree, I quite love this special time of year.
Our trip to USA was a huge mega travelling experience. It took 9.5 hours to fly on our little Virgin plane to Orlando, much much longer then normal. We had a massive Thanksgiving spread, and finished it off with the most enormous carrot cake I have ever seen (Thanks O, it was v. nice) we then got on the road to Atlanta - 8 hours later we arrived, missed all the sales on black Friday, but got to see the latest addition to the family, so it certainly was worth the trip, we stayed 24 hours in Atlanta and then turned the people carrier around and drove another 8 hours back to Orlando .. I am still super pooped a week later, I think we overdid it !!! I guess I am not as young as I used to be and maybe less resillient !! The next trip will certainly involve sitting on a beach for prolonged periods of time ...
