Christmas Decorations

Flete Estate is gearing up for Christmas.  All our houses are expecting visitors for Christmas, so nine trees are ordered, ranging from little 3 foot trees for the Coastguards Cottages, 8 foot for Pamflete and Mothecombe and a 20 foot tree for Holbeton Church.  Out scouting for holly with berries, I find the birds have had most of them during this cold snap of weather, so we may have to resort to a little man-made mixed in.  Dozen of tea lights are waiting to fill the lovely decorative votives I enjoyed buying from the White Company, and a steadily growing pile of fir cones are drying in the stables, waiting to be sprayed gold and silver.
