It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas?

Step one in the instruction manual of putting up a giant Christmas tree. Take one barrel and liberally sprinkle with rocks. Put tree in barrel and move upright. Add more rocks to taste or when the tree no longer wobbles.

Step two and three involve some light work. Choose clockwise or anti clockwise and wind lights around the tree, and again, and again, and… when there are no more lights turn them on, step back and go “awww”.

Step four, add Christmas decorations like chocolate chips in a hot cross bun. Now take pictures of the great work.

The final step isn’t really to do with the tree but time to enjoy some lovely no alcohol mulled wine and a Christmas biscuit.

Great to see Megan and Rahil for their first goodgym session today and well done everyone :)

Until next time…

Sunshine, or at least not rain greeted us at Golden Hill Community Garden to help set up for the fayre (hooray).

We started with an old favourite of putting up gazebos, which apart from trying to put tent pegs into solid ground was finished in a flash.

After a bit of flower arranging we moved onto the main task of writing signs to go up telling visitors to the fayre what was happening. Writing signs doesn’t do it enough justice though as the creativity was unleashed like a puppy into a room of excitable school children. Who knew there were so many ways to decorate letters and the Battenberg cake looked almost good enough to eat!

Signs up and we were done. What a fun task as always.

Until next time…
