Moon and star

[lathany]

I spent the morning travelling from one end of Ashford to the other and then back again. Meaning that I walked Ryan to the doctor's (he's getting over a virus), then took the bus to his school then finally returned (again by bus) to the station. I got in at 11:30 and, to my delight, discovered that they were putting up the Christmas tree in the foyer. It's a huge, expansive, glorious tree with red and gold decorations and white flashing fairy lights. The front desk now has a matching banner of green branch beneath it with similar gold and red decorations.

On my way home this evening (to get in for the duo and the shopping) I realised just much my walk home from the station reminds me of my walks home from school/bus stop to my parents house. Maybe it's because it feels so safe and middle class, maybe its because here too there are homes with a set of Christmas lights spread across the trees in the front garden. But maybe it's because there are yellow sodium street lights still.

You're making me all nostalgic for schooldays now!

We have a wreath on the door in my apt. building, but no tree. Im toying with the idea of putting up some decorations, but might not as Im coming home for the Christmas period.

Everyone should have a tree!

Although, if you're coming home, I guess there's no need to have it in your apartment.
