What a cold and very apt day to go hunting for the Christmas tree. 

Richard and Jeremy ventured off to the deepest darkest depths of Burbage to a wonderful little Christmas tree farm called Canalside Christmas trees. The team were very helpful and friendly.

With a small cup of Mulled wine to fortify against the wind and snow, the hunt was on, in not too much time at all the tree was found! A very nice 16ft tall 12 year old Norwegian spruce. After tying it on to Jeremy's Landrover , the intrepid pair made there way back through what can only be described as the first blizzard of winter to the safety and sanctity of St Peter's. 

Saturday afternoon saw the willing volunteers decorate the great tree and what a sight it was sat in Gods glory in magnificence at the back of St Peter's Church. 


What a big ,big thank you to Jeremy and Maggie for donating the tree and the support of the decorators for there help and artistic flairs in bauble positioning.
