Another fantastic display of entries for this years Christmas wreath decorating competition, from the Crafty Friends of Douglas Drive.

Thank you very much to our Chairman who came in to judge the entries today , a difficult task I’m sure you’ll agree.

Today we said goodbye to our wonderful cook Linda as she begins her retirement.
