If you thought you were weary at the end of last year you were not alone…. We were beginning to think Father Christmas had forgotten us, but after a long search we discovered him asleep on the couch in the lounge! Fortunately all his gifts were safe and duly distributed to very happy children and […]

Well, here we are nearly to Christmas and the end of 2009. Our November newsletter got sidelined with the general rush, Cherry festival and jam making.
