Not as extensive as it was last year, but still fun to visit.
I usually putter about shops putting up Christmas decorations and selling Christmas stuff before December but we were there for lunch, it was there, so we went to have a look.
The entrance to The Willows cafe starts the Festive theme

Then, after lunch we proceeded through the grand entrance to Christmas-land

I have to admit that our house doesn’t look anything like this at Christmas

too much effort to do…. but good to look at when someone else does it!
A colourful couple of decorated trees


And my favourite, a tableaux of a big deer (very reminiscent of Harry‘s Patronus in the Harry Potter books), an owl, and a small deer


A ‘Merry Christmas’ collection of Christmassy characters completes the cheery scene

We’re now looking forward to The Willows introducing their Christmas menu which is always yummy.
