Deciding heights, positions & angles

I sometimes wish I’d been a shop window display designers as it’s always so creative & such fun. But I never like doing the Christmas decorations at Apley Farm Shop before bonfire night – just seems far too soon to me! In these photos, you can see the very early stages of development of our 2016 decorations.  They’re very unfinished, but it’ll happen ! Thank you to Lydia, Alan, Adam & Mark for helping me after hours.
