Happy New Year to you!! 🥳✨🤩
So, it’s a brand new year, and I’ve really seen a trend this year of de-christmas’ing the house almost straight after the big day. Have you taken your tree down yet, or still needing the twinkly lights up? We’re enjoying a few more days of them and going to take everything down on Saturday ready for the Scouts tree collection 🎄✨ I always feel a bit sad to take them down.
For quite a few years now I’ve been designing the flyers and adverts for our local Scouts group, 1st Berkhamsted, for their annual Christmas tree collection.
Our youngest has attended the 1st Berkhamsted Scouts since he started in Beavers when he was around 6 or 7, he then became a Cub and now he’s a Scout (I’ve sneaked some photos in here of him helping too!). The Group have been so brilliant for our son over the years and the volunteers who run the Group do so much for them and the local community. The Christmas tree collection is their biggest fundraiser of the year, so I’m very happy to help each year.
If you’re in Berkhamsted, or surrounding areas, online booking is open – https://trees.1stberkhamsted.org.uk – or you can visit the stall on Berkhamsted market this Saturday to book your collection 🎄
I’m helping to collect the trees this Sunday with our youngest – it’s looking like a super cold one – around minus five degrees it seems!! 🥶🥶 Wish us luck! 🍀
The 🔥 will be lit tonight and will enjoy the twinkling lights of the tree for the next few evenings until next Christmas 🎄🎅🏻✨
So, are we going to get snow this week when the kids are back to school? ❄️☃️ It definitely looks like it’s getting cold, brrrr! 🥶
