I used to like making paper chains, as a kid I’d always be given a couple of packs of coloured strips. The idea was to lick the gummy ends, stick them together and hey ho!
Probably the sort of thing that you’d buy in Woolworths along with your angel chimes

Yep. Used to love those.
Further to my earlier post, we’ve started planning the celebrations for the coronation of King William. Trying to work out what date to put on the cake for the street party. Any ideas of when Charles might pop his clogs?

Do not encourage Michael Bubble, FGS.
I love decorating ,Ripple,
I bought a Habitat Christmas Tree last year, I had absolutely nowhere to put it in my small sitting room, without it getting in the way,so, the idea came up to dismantle it, ( which took hours) then make a garland out of it, to put up my stair bannister, I already had the lights, spent zero money, was well pleased with the result.
…I’ve still got some “ fluffing out”, to do.
I Love brightness and light, my sitting room is pretty dark inside.

Pauline, I would not like to negotiate that spiral staircase without the assurance of a visible banister.
