The countdown begins...

After last weeks post we'll start the countdown toward Christmas as I work the blogging schedule as I'm usually pretty busy but i think it should be two full posts and something on or around Christmas Day.

 At the start of last week, our Christmas tree came which in this age of elf and safety had to planted and wired by people with certificates not sophisticats lest somebody either climb up it or try stealing the bulbs whilst turned on.
The Parish Council pays for the tree which is as well as we do want something like this at Christmas and keeps the lights that have to put on it.
I think every town and estate should have one.
On Friday the good folk here had a Carol Service under the tree enjoying themselves and going to a chapel for refreshments afterwards
Normally people such as the Round Table have a mobile santa visiting waving at everyone  as we wave back with the Scouts providing the trailer - yes I love this bit of Christmas  - while blasting out christmas tunes and collecting for the needy.

 Meanwhile as we're into Advent, the Advent calendar is up and most nom'able, a day at a time as we count down Xmas having consumed the Rabbit yesterday!
