Chocolate at Christmas

Loads of fun on Christmas day at Walmley Road. Average age was probably in the 60s, but everyone had a go on the chocolate fountain.

Sara and 'Aussie' did a great job with the grub. Turkey and the trimmings as you'd expect.

In a sign of the times, reckon we managed to fill about 7 black bin bags with paper, wrapping and other stuff from the day!!

Happy Christmas all......

Makes you think about how you relate to the people around you and what actually is a community. Read the comments at the bottom, some of them are fascinating.

Congrats to Mummy

The Christmas fayre was a great success. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves visiting the stalls and of course Santa C. Best bit - we scored 6 bottles of decent wine for only £4.50 worth of tombola tickets!!

Sara was the official newsletter creator/typist/pagesetter/editor for the event and has become a prolific desktop publisher. Well done to Sara and the PTFA team for making such a great event.

The big day looms over us

It might not have made the Aussie press, but tomorrow heralds the opening of the key event of the festive season...and indeed the closing a few hours later.

Yes, it's the Deanery Christmas fayre, (new blog challenge - when is it right to use Fayre and when Fair, are they colloquially interchangeable, sub question (in the voice of Jack Black) is colloquially an acceptable word?) considered a big event here as Sara has been a key member of the organising committee and it has consumed most of her time recently. She's currently in the bath relaxing to rebuild her energy levels ready to host the Grotto!
