So what if you call In Your House old Christmas decorations if you go you know I mean on the on Instagram I have seen all the various pictures that make it into the papacy of the competitive 5 ties that go on Instagram with perfectly styled trees with coordinated boreholes and that would seem to be the the footballers' wives celebrities holding it but I think the best. Thing on trays is those really old decorations I've got the ones that my children made when they were really little which you know with that lovely pointed you type them for the height of artistic brilliance but they just have a sentimental value so is there something in your household that comes out brings back all the memories or did I was Sara it's actually the tree itself in my house and it's always been the subject of great amusement debate and debacle to be fair because I have a small house so I don't have room for an actual tree of any description really. So I have one of those ones that's basically a sort of a tweak with lights on it and it's got a little subtle stand and so has to kind of sit on top of the other like them I think they're very tasteful what house is new Perhaps to you yes perhaps you would like to have a conversation with Karen Blackmore then who has done nothing since he was about aged 10 and take the mickey out of his mother and this tree basically suggesting that he's not a Christmas tree it is what it is it is a tweak with lights on and made it bulb also everything or Kiran should have done has come around the year that I bought a Christmas tree that was disproportionate to the size of my house that I haven't ridden it was like having really big trees not you know almost all the Christmas films now I want to have what I had in the films because sometimes it's not realistic and we bought this trade it did look like it was quite large but you know it was in the net and he way open the net up the whole thing springs open and honestly it was like living in a little woodland I couldn't feel right you got to you have to pay through the phone really age to get to that to look at the television and and you have to scrabble passed it to sit on the sofa so you know sometimes proportional to your living accommodation is the way forward rather than getting delusions of grandeur and having to be unable to view the television as a consequence licks it looks a pretty want to stand in for what I'm going to do I will put the tree up yet this year but I've got photos from when I did pop up last year it's the same every year so I will you know between now and the next set of bulletin I will email you a photograph of aforementioned trace of the tree a lot see you think it's quite pretty and I let's we've got a headline from fit in old show he says one year shy of it 17 or e all know rather one year Centrino racer fail when it gets a role Christmas card in 2020 goes on to say the oldest Chris.

Brilliant I love it it's 1333 start with the word ready what's being dubbed the country's oldest Christmas tree maybe 6 or 6 trouble try this headline now you say no or not that number for the 99 year old Christmas tree that's made another appearance this year what's it like on the right and $25.00.

Very. Cool with your travel updates 100 to one a full find b.b.c. Sussex travel you trust Christmas on b.b.c. Sussex. Festive it's. A. Day late showing merry bearing for Christmas at the boy home and will tell the story. Behind a very famous sketch I think it was love. It was kind of assist suddenly the greatest. Love that just some of the highlights this Christmas on b.b.c. Sussex. Go . Green. It was. Cute. To our. Toni Braxton I don't break my heart those coming out 26 minutes possible walks on the box but it's all free. Oh we need some not really fun tell. Me this afternoon to talk television what have you got far so I can get some light relief and some perhaps not quite such light relief. I love program I think this time if you and I was watching it last week Channel 48 o'clock Kirsty's hand might Christmas Have you watched Yes I was saying to Alison early that I live in a festive fantasy. In my head to I'm not casting you know I think of a few years ago I bought a book which showed you how to make all the Christmas but you know think that not 24 things to do in the run up Grace and it was homemade mince pies and cookies to go on the trail that stuff the reality is very different has stayed on the shelf and it for. Used as a frazzle just try to get I'd like to be casting but it's not going to and I think actually that's the reason to watch the program because if you can you can do it without doing it you can watch her do it you know because she does it so you don't have to. Just lie it's not what you need Bangkok programs us but you know that very much so but she does what I like about Kirstie also and I'm sure that what I like is exactly what other people don't like is the fact she's no good at doing any of it so they say oh I mean the one I watched last week they said just embroider round they see letter I think it was the letter k. That you can hang on your tree and she put it into the machine she do it's awfully difficult and then you saw this letter to tell you that she did she does. But it was all over the place and I thought that's what I like about Kirstie because any other program they'd say Oh here's one we didn't really want it was immaculately what happens is you know. As it is and she's very real and I like that and I think that the whole point of handmade Christmas is that I that it shouldn't be uniform and it yeah a little bit different and it should be reparation a lot yeah. But I like that and I think that does make you feel Christmassy watching that program is a very very Christmassy program much lately I get a light out of will go out there and it's something it's not happy duty program at all and we need that 2 weeks to Christmas a place that's just goal you did before you get into December and it's so easy for you know you're almost there it's almost like stepping on an escalator but of an incredibly false impression I could hear you and suddenly there we need a bit of casting to help a story it was so number one which was forward to amazing spaces now have you ever watched George clock and yet he says this is on at 9 o'clock Channel 4 and George Clarke he's sort of the architect was suppose he's an architect but he tends to do a lot of renovations and things like that and he. He has a lot of programs about quite unusual spaces that people have created like really weird shade very very strange and unusual houses and this one is Northern Lights adventure and he explores hidden architectural gens in Finland including many cities of it please now I have actually been to Finland and I went to this time of year and that must be the most Christmassy country in the whole world and I think that would be just joyous program because the mixture of those wonderful spaces that he finds and Finland with it's wonderful. Tracing it down a winter wonderland reason when I sang Yes but I'm not leaving there actually a final suggestion my final suggestion. There if you like would a word of 2 word after word is power and it's on Sky 9 pm and I don't normally do those sort of channels because I'm not sure if you once got that but I wanted to say this one Margaret Wood said she's in serious demand these stay she's quite elderly and this is a document she does follows her on a sort of speaking tour and she's actually there is that for filmed over a course of a year and it's been a big year for Margaret Atwood because of course she was the person who originally wrote The Handmaid's Tale so she's very much in the spotlight I mean you know this is the me too and she's cortisone it's like it's fun I absolutely cannot because remember reading that years ago before anyone really knew much about it and then only it's become everywhere and I wonder if you know as an author you kind of desperately hoping that somebody yeah you catch the mood of a nation and yeah you know your your You're a huge star I write a long time ago and I didn't think it was suddenly going to go off like this it was like she needed to fuse and it took a very low tone where we took a television program I mean perhaps books don't really do anymore on their own. To be some of the form of media whether it is the film or television programme but that few. Conflagration at the moment really interesting good programmes offering says away with us next week. I think so yes looking to look for serious. Boulder. Colo. Neil Diamond Ring Rosie said we're talking about the trees the headline deadline stories today is the 90000000 year old Christmas tree it was born.

You've got to be pretty cloudy and went through the seafaring in fact the rain will tend heavy for a time accompanied by some pretty gusty in school when spot it will clear away to the 8th and the rest of the night is going to be drawing with. Breezy temperatures from iced of us will drop down to round about. 3 degrees but it does mean that in more sheltered spot the risk of a touch of isolated Frost with temperatures potentially getting down to freezing Wednesday morning then draw it was some spells of sunshine but the clouds will increase and then we'll see some showers breaking out some fairly widespread downpours and they could be heavy and thundery and we're looking at temperatures around 8 or 9 degrees or pretty chilly day about that to be as days with this so another risk of a frost on a Thursday morning Thursday a pretty cloudy and a wet day with the heaviest of rain expected through the afternoon was he's in strong winds as well with highs of 9 degrees so it's staying pretty unsettled over the next few days and more of the same to come right the way through to the weekend more details on your forecast up to 14 days at the website b.b.c.

You imagine the new glass of champagne yet and I we have not been able to answer yet surely you know there is this wild and there's just one and result isn't that nice to know so we get these wrongfully May so you tend to see people with the flu to champagne. That's the way for us wrong those who know about their champagne no longer drink in a flute because merry flutes can inhibit the a row Miss and concentrate on the notes I think probably a drink is I quickly there's no time for any hit by inhibiting stuff to go on I'm so you should drink your champagne in an open you know a big open glass right you put right wine in you know I don't care I doubt Hey I'll tell you I'll tell you spell you how to get it open you twist the bottle not the cork. Oh there we are so that all right that's one thing and the other big champagne to this year as well because quite often you see these I'm always I mean I don't know anything about wine but I I do like to say you know when it's like gold the winner of some competition and you see all that's good I'll go with that one and I know that's rubbish as well because there's no such thing as the best champagne. It down to what you're actually serving so you should say for instance if you're serving well if you're serving seafood kind of pays as we often do that we sell ice about his slaves because. We take all your or your crab or prawn cocktail then that it's blank blank that you do with it's brought floral citrus note. If you're choosing chief cheese then you should go for a different sort of a champagne a rose a champagne they say you know I don't think I could be bothered with all of that and you are just biology champagne and hope for the drinks and enjoy the after effect I might go with that water glass thing like you get more in one of the.
