Dear Villagers
This December we are planning to organise the village Advent Windows again. They were all so beautiful last year!
For those that are new to the village, or didn’t take part before, the idea is that everyone chooses a date in December when they will unveil their advent window. That’s a decorated window that can be viewed from the outside. If you don’t have windows visible from the street, be prepared for people to come up your driveway to have a look! This can be anything from paper chains and snowflakes, to fairly lights, to mini scenes and more elaborate displays. The window should also show your number somewhere. So, by Christmas, there’s a trail of 24 windows to follow around the village. Once everybody has signed up for a date, I will circulate a list of dates and addresses and a little map so that people can follow the trail. If two people want the same date, it doesn’t matter too much, but it would be nice to have a new one each day.
I thought this year it might be nice to put out mince pies, biscuits or sweets out by your window if there is a suitable place, on the 24th, as it’s a Saturday, and we will encourage people on that day to make any donations for the food bank (drop off points at Meadow View, Lilac Cottage, and the Church).
So, if you would like to take part, please email me on bertieepps@gmail.com or message via the village WhatsApp telling me your name, house name/number and road, and the date you’d like to reveal your window.
Please respond before November 19th if possible.
Many thanks, Bertie Epps
