At the time of writing we are just over half way to lighting up all of the Wenvoe Advent Windows. There have been so many different subjects and ways of decorating windows that have all been a surprise to those of us viewing each lighting up. We have seen Santa Clauses, Snowmen, Kings, Nativities, Stars, Festive Fireplaces, Christmas Trees, Planets, Skating Penguins, a view of Wenvoe, tributes to a loved pet and even a visit from the Grinch, fortunately he didn\u2019t steal our Christmas!<\/p>\n
A huge Thank You <\/strong>to all the amazing efforts of those who used their time, imagination and skills to provide us with so much fun and a purpose to get out and have a walk whatever the weather.<\/p>\n We have had comments about what people want to do next year with further ideas and ways of improving what has already been achieved. While we have not made any plans for next year it would be good to have any comments from those who have decorated a window or those who have enjoyed viewing.<\/p>\n We now look forward to seeing the remaining windows unfold especially the last one the children from Wenvoe School are providing in the Church yard on Christmas Eve.<\/p>\n Jude Billingham<\/p>\n judebillingham@yahoo.co.uk \u2013 for your comments<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" WENVOE ADVENT WINDOWS At the time of writing we are just over half way to lighting up all of the Wenvoe Advent Windows.
