It feels as though it has been miserable and grey outside for months. We didn't get the snow that the rest of the country enjoyed/suffered through, instead we have endless drizzle and overcast days. So I've had to up the colour quota indoors, otherwise I start to pine and become as gloomy as the skies outside.
Today we packed up the Christmas tree and put away the decorations for another year. I absolutely love Christmas, but as soon as it's over I feel angsty about the decorations being up, as though if they hang around for too long, they won't be special anymore. So I have the will, but not always the inclination towards action (last year we didn't manage to completely pack them up until the beginning of February), so this year I'm already feeling terribly organised and ahead of the game. These decorations were new this year and are my absolute favourite and best.
