For the last two years, Steve Joul has shown us how to make Christmas Garlands and Yule Logs. This year we decided to go solo and sell some garlands to raise funds. You know the old adage: Give a man a fish and he has a meal. Teach a man to fish …and you get some peace and quiet at the weekends!
Mind what you do with that sellotape!
We decided not to make Yule Logs because it requires a bit more preparation. However, today was the first step in making garlands – to make the bases so that next weekend we can get off to a flying start and make hundreds of garlands for sale.
We had an excellent turnout and made about 22 bases and a couple of specimen garlands so that the novices knew what the finished product will look like.

Barbara treated us with non-alcoholic punch and we enjoyed some excellent mince pies from Cooplands (four for a pound!).
Yet another happy morning of activities, and friendship!
