Sunshine greeted us at Deen City Farm today for which we were extremely grateful given the number of baubles that needed to be collected outside!

We also tackled the various Christmas trees that needed to be taken down and bagged these up like bodies, ready to be stored away.

It was great to catch up properly over a coffee in the cafe afterwards.

After our elf clothing fitting we were introduced to the other elves, Anabel and Scott, who were already greeting the visitors arriving at Santa's grotto. The sun was shining (in December) and we were suitably dressed (underneath our costumes) to enjoy being outside - each taking it in turns to check in the guests and play photographer/give out presents.

Mid session we switched out and it did get a bit chilly as it started to rain but we kept warm elfing around and waving at the kids as they waited patiently to meet Santa. What an amazing festive task to support with and we are looking forward to helping out at Deen City Farm again soon... especially if there are costumes ;)!
