The annual Christmas Tree Festival took place last weekend at our village church. Trees were decorated by various clubs and organisations in the village, including the school where I work. Yours truly went along to take some photos.
Hi John - wonderful to see .. and they look amazing .. no wonder you wanted to show us ... love seeing the Church decorated up and everyone enjoying themselves ... it makes Christmas this sort of thing with the children involved .. and participating and able to show proud parents, grandparents, relatives et al ..
Oh, how lovely! So different to the ones I saw in a local church recently. I love the look of wonder and happiness in the face of the lady in your second photo. I also like the way you have framed and presented the photos:)
What wonderful decorations - especially the RED ones! Like PDP above, I don't have my tree up yet either. Some years just feel more Christmassy than others!
Thanks for taking the time to comment. I'll try to answer any questions via a comment or e-mail within the next day or two (no hard questions, please!).
Lovely photos, thank you.
