With Christmas nearly upon us, I hope you are starting to feel festive and have begun stocking up on mince pies and mulled wine for the celebrations.
It's definitely time for a well earned break so that we all feel rejuvenated and ready to go again in the New Year. We shall be closed from Christmas Day until Friday 1st January, with business as usual on Monday 4th January. However, in case of emergency I can be contacted by email.
As usual we shall not be sending out Christmas cards but will be making a donation to Willen Hospice.
All that is left to say is have a very Merry Christmas and a very prosperous Happy New Year!
Kind regards,
Angela
