Jerusalem Chapel – ‘Merched’ – Christmas Tea
A festive afternoon was held at Jerusalem Vestry recently when three ladies of ‘Merched’ arranged and served a delicious Christmas Tea. All attended thoroughly enjoyed the occasion, unfortunately several members were not able to attend due to illness and other commitments, so the ladies kindly prepared ‘take-away trays for those members to enjoy at home.
All present were given a goodie-bag of chocolate treats to remind them of an afternoon well spent in good company, lovely food and special surroundings.

Sign of Winter from the Bus Stop
If you looked into Victoria Gardens while waiting for the bus home on Saturday, you would have seen the first signs of winter there.
