Don't Panic

Apologies

Yup sorry to everyone who's been waiting avidly for the latest in the life of Imo.  Put it down to working in a school, stupidly telling that school that a.  you can play the piano and b. no you don't mind at all playing for the Nativity Play, The School Christmas Concert and the School Carol Service, and then spending every spare minute practising endless Christmas music.   The piano always breathes a sigh of relief when we finally hit the end of term.

Getting in the Christmas Spirit

Sent Mr Imo out for the Tree last weekend to the Christmas Tree Farm in Stansted where the trees have a happy factory free life growing in fields with lots of fresh air, wind and rain.   They'd sold out!   How the heck can you say you've sold out of trees whilst standing in a hut on the edge of the field still full of trees.  Surely chopping down just one more is neither here or there.  He came back via Home Base who were also treeless.

Mr Imo was sent out again on what was now being called the 'Great Hunt for the Last Available Tree' with orders not to come home without one!  The tree he brought back (it was the last but one from the man who sells logs in Takeley) was slightly bald in places, but now it's tastely covered in a few decorations, it hasn't dropped one needle.

Look what I made

Plus the others that didn't make it to the podium

And finally.........

After all my panic over getting ready for Christmas I did make it - although putting up holly this afternoon nearly had me flinging the whole lot out into the melting snow - that stuff hurts!

Have a very Happy Christmas.
