Well, chestnuts weren’t actually roasting on an open fire, and Jack Frost wasn’t nipping at our noses,  but it was time for making the Friends of Adel Woods celebrated Christmas wreaths!

We gathered together in the bar of Old Leo’s rugby club with masses of leylandii clippings, pine cones, plastic holly berries and bling, and set about exercising our creativity.

We are pleased to say that the making of the wreaths resulted in net contributions (after expenses) of £91.30 to FOAW funds.

Thank you to all who helped make the wreaths, to all who had a wreath, and thank you to Old Leo’s for letting us use the bar and providing us with tea and coffee.

It’s Twelfth night tomorrow, and the wreaths will be taken down – even though they last outside for months.  If you had a wreath, please return it to me at sometime in the next 11 months for recycling!
