I'm making a head start on my Christmas Bucket List

My beautiful peacock displaying his tail feathers, and Ginger One.

I love tinsel 

Last year on my Christmas Bucket List (I kept typing lust instead of lust...) was a trip to the Tree Barn, for one reason or another we didn't get there.  

Today however we had an hour to spare, and it opened on Saturday, so.

We payed (or is it paid?) them a visit and it was Devine.  

For me it was heaven.  The barn smelled of cinnamon and apple, they gave us a sample of apple cider which was yummy we bought our own spices (so expensive, but worth it) every corner of the barn twinkled like a glitter bomb had exploded.

I wanted to buy everything so I challenged GO to find only one ornament under £4, I would do the same and then we would leave.  It could be a whole new Murray family tradition.

I couldn't help myself, it was so hard to choose.

I found 4 ornaments.....

Can you guess which ones are mine?
