We have a tree - that's the good news. It's way too big for my house. Typical Margaux... Enthusiasm and spontaneity overshadow good judgement and planning. Ah well. Poor James had to carry the tree from the tree shop to our car many, many steps away. James was not pleased. The tree is now in our house and might attract a small flock of birds and maybe a squirrel or two. It is a big tree.
Now we need to get more ornaments for the big tree. We've only had sort of bonzai-sized trees before which only needed maybe 2 baubles and a sprig of tinsel... Now we have a tree-sized tree.
It has totally encroached on MacKenzie's rolling area... he will not be pleased.
Anyway - bring on Christmas. Have tree will Christmas.
About Me
- Margaux Nissen Gray
- New York, New York, United States
- Born in Johannesburg in the late 1970s, I grew up as the only child of a German father and South African mother. At 2 we moved to a small town in the Eastern Cape called East London where I later attended Clarendon Girls' School and developed a passion for Theatre and the English language. After school, I attended Rhodes University in Grahamstown and graduated in 1999 with a BA Honours in Drama. At 22 I moved to London, did a series of rather disastrous jobs and met my Scottish prince who whisked me off to Sydney, Australia. While London held (still holds) the key to my heart, Sydney became our home. Five years in Sydney were filled with glamourous nights out, satisfying jobs, fantastic friends and constant sunshine. In 2007 we were lured accross the pond to Dublin where our precious son, MacKenzie, was born in 2008. After 3 years in Dublin, we made the monumental decision to return Down Under in pursuit of joy, love and laughter. Of course it doesn't end there...
