I know that I have been calling them Christmas Garlands – ‘cos Steve Joul thought that sounds more upbeat – but I now accept that you are right and they are properly called Christmas Wreaths.
Last week a team of us did the preparatory work for today’s event and today a team of elves, fairies, imps, pixies and dryads (posh word for tree nymphs) met at Old Leo’s Rugby Club to express their artistic selves and create Christmas Wreaths for themselves and for the people who had requested that we make them one.
We had a production line of people creating the leylandii bases, and decorating them with baubles, pine cones, ribbons and artificial poinsettia.
A very happy enjoyable morning – and early afternoon because we didn’t finish till nearly 2 pm. However, the team was kept energised with Christmas music, mince pies and refreshments, and then easy listening music (sorry Louden).
A big thank you to everyone who took part and to Old Leo’s for letting us use their bar. Your support is much appreciated.
We have had many messages of appreciation from the people who ordered a wreath.
