Village Advent Calendar Windows 2022 – No 17 – Bentley’s Farm Bungalow

Sunday, December 18th, 2022

A great turnout last night for the window unveiling at Bentleys Farm Bungalow on Helmdon Road. Kym and Tony provided the obligatory and may I say, excellent mulled wine (think I’m becoming a bit of an expert!) along with hot sausages and sausage rolls before the traditional countdown. We were all impressed with the snowy mountain scene, showing penguins fishing, polar bears and elves. Suzanne Hanney

Village Advent Calendar Windows 2022 – N0 16 – Wisteria Cottage, Helmdon Road

Sunday, December 18th, 2022

Another very crisp and cold evening saw a great turnout at Wisteria Cottage on Helmdon Road last night. The tasty hot sausages and sausage rolls provided by Shrimp were very welcome indeed, particularly when washed down with hot mulled wine. In the spirit of Christmas cheer, even a passing tanker driver was offered some food, which was very happily accepted. No mulled wine for him though! After the traditional countdown, the window unveiling revealed a beautiful and wintry bird themed vista. Thanks to everyone who came along and threw money in the charity bucket. The total is totting up nicely – when I get a chance, I’ll post how much we have raised so far. Suzanne Hanney

Village Advent Calendar Windows 2022 – No. 11 – Forge Cottage, School Street

Tuesday, December 13th, 2022

A big thank you to everyone who turned out to see the window unveiling at Forge Cottage on Sunday, despite the biting cold. Fortified by hot mulled wine and very tasty sausages and other nibbles, the Faures showcased a very festive, Stevie Wonder themed Christmas scene. We also topped up our charity fund, which is building up nicely. Suzanne Hanney

Thanks to all that attended the Advent window this evening. (Infact some may say door) It was lovely to see so many faces and have my nephews here to enjoy too. Another great amount raised tonight and plenty more I’m sure by Christmas Eve. Daniel Webster

Village Advent Calendar Windows 2022 – No. 8 – 13 Towrise

Monday, December 12th, 2022

Another very cold evening, but that didn’t stop a large crowd turning out for a very special window unveiling at 13 Towrise. Lisa and Ryan helped warm us all up by providing hot cider and tasty nibbles. The traditional countdown culminated in the reveal of lovely wintry and Christmas scene featuring a beautiful tribute to Lisa and Ryan’s daughter, Isla Grace. ?. Another £29 was raised for the British Heart Foundation and the Alzheimers Society.  Suzanne Hanney.
