Woke up this morning to gale force winds and driving rain. Trev was supposed to be putting the lights on the outdoor tree, but decided to let him have a lie in as there was no way he could go up a ladder in that wind. We had to buy new lights as the previous ones had died on us, after two of the hardest winters I have ever know, I'm not surprised. This is a picture of the tree last year in all the snow. It was much admired by people in the town, and I should not gloat, but it is considerably bigger than the 'official' tree, ours does have the advantage of being a living tree.
Despite the howling gale we are off to Cupar tonight to a wine tasting, would take more that a bit of high wind to keep Trev away from that, just hope there are no trees down on the way. Tomorrow promises to be much improved, so I might get my tree lit after all.
Had to stop there last night as it was time to go, the wine tasting was very informative but I'm afraid I can not see the justification for a bottle of wine at £90, to my unsophisticated pallet the one we had at a tenner was just as good. Sort of glad I can't -I could not afford the 'good' stuff.
