What a Starry Starry Start to Christmas..!

Stoke Lodge Hotel's 'Starry Starry Night' entry at the Christmas Tree Festival.

This weekend we were lucky enough to visit the 10th annual Christmas Tree Festival at Stoke Fleming Church, and what a peaceful, friendly and enjoyable start to Christmas it was - despite the cold and rain.

Upon receiving a warm welcome into the church, we were told there were thirty beautifully trimmed trees to admire - and admire them we did!

We really enjoyed wandering around doing the Spot The Oddity competition, sipping comforting mulled wine and listening to the church organ playing - it was just delightful.

All who took part in decorating their trees had obviously put so much effort into it and the trees were simply stunning - and it was a joy to take time out from all the weekend chores and great to know that all proceeds will be donated to St Peter's Church and Rowcroft Hospice.

Thank you to all concerned for a most enjoyable afternoon.
