Tonight was the Grove carol service, which was held around the Christmas tree at the end of Vale Avenue. It was a mild evening, unlike last year when we were standing in the snow. There was a good turnout and tonight the collection was for the Grove and Wantage Food Bank. The Chairman of Grove Parish Council introduced the service which was officiated by the Rev. John Robertson from Grove Parish Church. The Wantage Silver Band were there and as usual did us proud (see photo above).
Afterwards we were invited over to the new Methodist Church building for coffee, tea and mince pies. The extra room and new kitchen and toilet facilities are excellent and will be a bonus for groups who meet in the church hall. Returning back home to continue with Christmas preparations - seems to come round more quickly every year.
