Hooray - I have finally managed to get the decorations on our tree. It is the first year it has been in this position as we have redecorated and bought new furniture it does not fit where it used to. I much prefer it in this position.
It is not necessarily tasteful but I call it my Victoriana styled 'travel tree' as it has decorations we have bought from around the world including the most recent of a koala bear and echidna from Australia.
