We don't need new year resolutions - we need rest.

Hi there - I so agree with you. I've been having a retreat from everything during the past week - walking my dogs, reading, doing a few jobs here and there (note, I haven't had to go out to work during this retreat which makes it easier!). It has felt so therapeutic and closer to the rhythms of the natural world (waxing lyrical now). By contrast, out there in the 'real world', my daughter messaged me to say Tesco are stocking up their shelves with Easter eggs! Give us a break will you! I hope they melt!

Wow is that a new record!! I'm still taking down the Christmas decorations!

Me too! The world has officially gone mad!! 

That cracked me up, I laughed out loud!

Good luck, I don't envy you having to venture into spidery places

I'm going to do mine tomorrow. Not a fan of going up in the loft on my own to re-store them - but needs to be done. Wish me luck!

You can ram Cadbury Mini eggs down my throat...ALL YEAR ROUND!!!

Sorry..but I do love them.

I was hoping it would be done, but it took so long just sorting the kids presents out and finding proper space for them, most are still up. 

I think it helps with the transition back out of the holidays to take them down, but everyone else wants to hang on to the holidays longer.

It gets earlier and earlier every year, although I have seen easter eggs out at this time of year before. I think it spoils it, there's nothing to look forward to when it's being rammed down you throat for months, well apart from it all being over.

I took my decorations down today, the house looks sort of bare now, although this morning I was fed up with the clutter of them.
