On a personal level Planning, a New Year’s Resolutions list is a great way to reflect on the year gone by and how you can make improvements to your life or those around you

As a small independent business, 2020 hit us hard with forced closures, adapting to become COVID secure and daily uncertainty like never before. However, we are still glad to have made the most out of what this year had to offer.

The joy of singing Christmas Carols!

As the festive season arrives, so do our favourite Christmas traditions. Such as putting up the Christmas tree, wrapping presents, baking with the family and decorating gingerbread houses. However, one of our favourite Christmas traditions is joyful carols, these old traditional songs have been passed down from generation to generation for centuries.

Firstly, these lovely carols were sung as a celebration of Christ’s birth. Today they are often heard at churches or around the neighbourhood, noting that many choirs sing purely for charity.
