Santa's on his way!

Santa's on his way and he's catching a connecting train this Sunday in Warley Woods delivering all the presents to the boys and girls in Bearwood.

He’ll be riding through Warley Woods guided by torches (so pretty!) to his grotto at Warley Woods Pavillion.

There's lots for adults to enjoy too - carols, mince pies, mulled wine, hot chestnuts, tombola and a chocolate fountain!


This has to be one of our favourite Christmas events!

For more details, please visit the Warley Woods website.

Well worth a book!

Last weekend NX News' Christmas Catalogue landed on our doormat. We love giving (and receiving! hint! hint!) good books at Christmas so we had a look through to see if there were any books we fancied.

There was so much choice...The John Lennon Letters (with a very tempting £5 off), Duran Duran's John Taylor's In The Pleasure Groove (big crush on him in the 80s!) and Hollywood Costume (gorgeous pictures) would definitely be on the top of our Christmas pressie list.

Manish who owns NX News explained to us how you can order books via their online ordering service.

"People can order online from www.nxbooks.co.uk and can follow the link provided on that site. From there they will be redirected to a hive website where they can search and order books. If the customer gets the delivery sent to their home there is a delivery price unless if their order is over a specific amount, but delivery to my shop where they can then collect it will be free of charge whatever the book."

We also asked Manish for his top tips for Christmas...."We have signed copies of Kate Morton's The Secret Keeper which can be a bestseller if word is spread." 

Sounds like a right riveting read, it was recently described by the Marie Claire Good Book Club as "an evocative tale of wartime secrets and family loyalty...the story unfurls with a beguiling sweetness, but there's a real sting to this tale, too".

And for all those 50 Shades of Grey fans out there Manesh recommended new author Sylvia Day's Reflected in You..it's currently being devoured (yes...literally!) up and down the country.

Christmas in Bearwood

This year Bearwood has definitely done Christmas in style!

We’ve had fantastic craft fairs courtesy of those lovely Crafty Muthas, a very merry Christmas Ceilidh at St Mary's Hall, Santa has visited Warley Woods at least twice, lots of gorgeous gifts to buy helped along by mulled wine and mince pies at Webb’s and the REP’s Snowman judging snowmen in Lightwoods Park.

There's been so much happening it's been amazing! Please forgive me if I’ve missed any yuletide events.

Starting tomorrow and bringing us nicely up to Christmas Eve we’ve got Bearwood on Ice.

It’s going to be great.....lots of market stalls, mulled wine and hot cider(yes please!), snowmen, a fun fair, inflatable slides and how could I forget the ice rink!

I know that I’m going to fall over and get lots of bruises but I can’t wait...it’s going to be such a giggle.
