🎄 A warm Christmas welcome🎄
Santa at the door is actually Bryan, who — with Libby — set up the festive decorations. Even better, the Nutcracker figures are made from recycled materials. Christmas cheer with a thoughtful touch.

Last week we enjoyed carols with Revs. Magdalen and Christine from Moseley Parish, beautifully accompanied by their Director of Music.
Familiar hymns, shared moments and a real sense of togetherness — followed, of course, by mulled wine and mince pies. 🎶
