Christmas is coming!
I am so excited for the festive season this year
My children have all been working super hard
Revising for and taking GCSEs
Preparing for ballet exams and dance competitions
We are looking forward to making the most of
An extended Christmas break
And, of course
Our Advent To Remember
Our Advent for Tilda
Every year we do special things
In honour of our baby in the stars
A way of remembering her and including her
In all our festive traditions and celebrations
One of our favourite places to go
To make merry and soak up the spirit of Christmas is
And this year their line up is spectacular
Here is what they have in store for
