All those motorists diverted through Natland this afternoon will have had the benefit of seeing our village Christmas tree which has been erected on the Green today.
Thanks to Joan Calvert for donating the tree and to Andrew, Martin and David for putting it up.
Unfortunately the mounting pipe is cracked so a strong gale such as we have had in recent weeks could result in an uncontrollable list. If any one has the ability to fix a metal ring round the plastic pipe to strengthen it please volunteer and have the satisfaction of seeing a permanent vertical tree.
The tree looks a bit bare in the daylight so please feel free to hang your spare decorations on it.
Carols around the tree will take place on Tuesday 22 December at 6.30pm (if wet in church).
Happy Christmas, everyone.
