A red telephone box is much bigger and slipperier than I ever imagined. First attempt of climbing the phone box. Failed. Sore elbow. Second attempt, failed again. Almost broke my chin.  We had to go back and get a ladder in the end. Yep, we are trying to be secret, subtle elves when it comes to creating these decorations…I’m sure it would make Banksy very proud.
 

Yes, it was very complicated installation using a bottom of a bin bucket and spray painted camping ropes. No expense spared! Now all we need is a BIG tree.

We are getting slightly sentimental now…it’s just one more decoration to go. It’s been crazy, fun and we are constantly facing unexpected problems with this project but now we know we will definitely miss decorating the hood. East siiiide.

I never thought I would actually say things like this but PLEASE stop snowing! Especially when we planned to do a ‘street’ installation…and this one was quite literately on a street.  We were already running about 9 hours late as we had to wait until the snow melted. Tragedy strikes! we had to put a placeholder image on our calendar over night to avoid disappointment of opening the blank advent calendar door. Gutted.

 

Well, the good news that came from this decoration was that people kept coming up to us during it’s installment telling us how much it made their day! Hopefully it was worth 9 hours of waiting.

 

Special thanks to WK elf Jill and WK elf Miles.
