We went out a bit later in the day this week to drive around the surrounding villages to look at their Christmas lights through the high streets and to see if any private homes had put their decorations up outside. People are certainly getting into the Christmas spirit already! We were particularly impressed by one house on the Hassocks road between Hurstpierpoint and the Stone Pound crossroads – If you are in the area take a look! WOW

We'll be getting in the spirit ourselves this weekend when a team of volunteers will be coming to decorate the Manor. It'll be our first Christmas in the new extension and we're all looking forward to making it wonderfully Christmassy.
