Well it's a chilly frosty morning here in Bright and can you believe it has already been snowing on the hills around Bright.  I thought I'd send you a little preview (look up)!!!
 
Hence it has got me in the mood for CHRISTMAS IN WINTERTIME!!!!!!! This year is proving to even top off last year, it that's possible.  It just blows me away each year when I go buying how much quality, beautiful and unique Christmas decorations there are available and how exciting it is to piece it all together and show you how fantastic it all can look. Because our event is a month later the Christmas stock that will be in store is nearly TWICE as much as before,  it's gonna be a tight squeeze!!!!  But it is going to look FANTASTIC!!! There are lots of gorgeous tin decorations, new trees, glass decorations, garlands, ornaments, gorgeous table centres and so much more!!
 
Saturday will begin at 10am sharp with the big man himself SANTA!!!! We will have lucky door prizes, on the day specials and our first free raffle is drawn at 11am and every hour on the hour after that. (Winner or Friend must be present)  Mid afternoon our INFAMOUS GLUHWEIN and ROASTED CHESTNUTS WILL BE SERVED.
 
Back by popular demand is our
