I would like to say a big thank you to all the people involved in making the childrens Christmas activity day, it was a super day and my two really enjoyed themselves.
There was just so much seasonal fun to be had, making mince pies, making Christmas cards and decorations, the tombola, the raffle and not to forget the delicious chocolate fountain and the marshmallows! They even got to decorate a Christmas tree before the highlight of a special appearance from Santa himself.
Thank you all and we hope that you all have a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year.
