Wine Advent Prize Draw Winner
Huge congratulations to Jess Brown who won the Laithwaites Advent Calendar last month! It was a particularly well fought competition with lots of good entries but we felt Jess’ summed up the general theme throughout, going more minimalist with her advent calendar idea…. ‘My mum used to make our own advent calendars when we were younger. She used to put a tree decoration in each day and every day we could put one on the little tree. I think it was very nice creative of her and by Christmas we would have a little decorated tree’ Sounds exactly the right kind of calendar for 2020! Enjoy your daily bottle Jess!

It was a cold wet dreary night, out walking with my dog, and children, to get to the main road we walked up a long dark lane, trees overhanging and wet, covered in slimy cobwebs, which leads to the church where we also have to pass through, we entered the church yard, where my children ran off, suddenly, there was a scream from afar, I ran as my children had disappeared!!
