Yesterday Rob and I went shopping for our Christmas tree. YAY CHRISTMAS!
We didn’t have a real tree last year – long-time readers might remember we’d just moved into our house and with boxes everywhere and two unsettled cats, I couldn’t face daily pine needle hoovering as well. I bought a very lovely paper tree from John Lewis, but it just wasn’t the same. So hooray for real Christmas trees and the constant hoovering/daily bauble collection due to naughty cats/fear of electrocution when you water it with the lights on that comes with them!

For our Christmas tree outing, I went full festive and wore my Christmas jumper for the first time this year. Rob wore a matching one but did not allow me to capture the moment in all its seasonal glory, sadly.
We didn’t have to go far for our tree – a 30 second walk from our house is a beautiful shop called The Fruit Stall, which sells fruit, veg, flowers, herbs and – at the moment – amazing, locally-sourced Christmas trees. Rob heaved our chosen one onto his shoulders, I got a cinnamon hot chocolate from the cafe (I wasn’t much help, tbh) and we wandered home singing carols. It was quite insufferably jolly, actually.
I wrapped up way too warmly, but when you’re picking out a Christmas tree you might as well go the whole hog, amirite? My fave thing about Saturday’s outfit is this brilliant bobble hat sent to me by the aptly-named Bobbl – the ‘bobbls’ are INTERCHANGEABLE, guys. Why hasn’t anyone done this before? I think it’s a fab idea and I love my navy version with a natural bobbl for subtly stylish days and a bright orange one for LOOK AT ME days.
I’ve got a Bobbl hat and two bobbls to give away to one of you, too – take a look at my Twitter for your chance to win. Merry Christmas!
Blinkin’ marvellous giveaway, you’re right it’s such a good idea!

Last year we had a real tree too, but that “all time hoovering” pissed me off so that this year we are gonna have fake tree 😀 And actually I’m pretty excited about that too, because I definately want to have white tree.
I wish I could have a real tree, but we are on holiday for a week (next week) and it’d dry out whilst we’re away! Love your bobble hat 🙂
Such a great idea for interchangeable bobbles, LOVE IT!
This has put me even more in the Christmas spirit!

Yes, why has no one thought of this before?! It’s genius!! Wish we could have found our tree a little closer to home, we traipsed through muddy (and slippery…yes I fell) fields to find ours!!
