The Christmas Tree Festival in a nearby village was, as expected, a resounding success with more beautiful, imaginative displays.
Jingle Bells by
Riding For The Disabled was my joint favourite with
The Starry Night inspired by the Vincent van Gogh painting
by The Sewing and Craft Club
Catch-Up-Cafe Christmas Kitchen
When Santa is Away
I think some of the elves were misbehaving!
Hearts by The Link Club
A joyful heart is good medicine - how true
How clever is this
Austeritree
by The Guides
and this one
Fire & Ice
by The brownies
Robin Hood's Archer Tree with a casket of gold
The inscription reads
In Sherwood's shade where legends are told
Robin Hood smiles on the shimmering gold
"Be fair and be kind" the brave hero would say
"Take JUST ONE treasure and skip on your way
one keeps it merry - more isn't ok".
The 'gold' was chocolate coins.
Come Dasher Come Dancer Sensory Arts
was lovely
Cymru by Chelmsford & District Welsh Society
Chelmsford Men's Shed showing images of days gone by, workshop things,
items of interest, cups of tea and custard creams! Great stuff.
This was adorable
Teddy Bear's Christmas
And this was very clever, The Fallen Tree by 1st Beavers
The cute beaver has felled the tree!
Bee Merry by 1st Guides
it's a shame I couldn't get a better view. It has little bees on it, bee sayings and bee homes, and the little packets of seeds say "scatter me to help a bee"
Fab..Yule..Ous
by Vanessa Brett Millinery
Girls Can Do Anything by 2nd Brownies
displayed women of influence throughout history
from Marie Curie to Taylor Swift.
Our WI tree was similar but most of our women were from older generations, although we did include Dolly Parton and Michelle Obama
Trauma Teddies from our neighbouring village WI. They are donated to emergency services to give comfort to young children and help to distract them from emergencies happening around them.
Crackin Tree Gromit
I'm a huge fan of Wallace & Gromit
unlike the Grinch, I hate it but I think this was very good
Come Fly With Me
How cute is the little balloon
100 Years of the Shipping Forcast
the photograph is Vice Admiral Robert Fitzroy. He
was an English officer of the Royal Navy, politician and scientist.
It's a Wrap
rolls of paper attached to a white board, simple and very effective.
I hope you have enjoyed the Trees.

ReplyDeleteIt was a good tree
