Despite this, there is a festive, cheerful warmth in the lead up to Christ
mas. At home myself and Rosie (another intern) created our own Christmas tree! We trudged up to the park near my house and gathered (along with some odd looks!) ivy, holly and branches, then became very liberal with some white and gold spray paint. We made some pomanders (oranges covered in cloves, smell delicious!) and hung them on like baubles which along with some gold ribbon, stars and fairy lights created the illusion of a tree. The lounge now looks and smells very festive.

Last Tuesday I drove myself and my boss Sarah down to Birmingham in a rather epic 7am till 8pm journey, touring the area on a venue hunting mission for a fundraising dinner we are holding in the area next March. Exhausting but rather fun, something we will be doing lots of as we have 10 dinners to organise next year!
