"A happy band of volunteers helping brighten our village. Come help us!"
Here are the houses and front gardens submitted before the deadline. We hope next year’s competition will be huge!
Voting closed 6pm Wednesday the 16th December, prize announcement the following day.
Thank you to all who participated. See you next year!
The voting is now closed. We’ll announce the winner in due course.
Did you see that? We raised £550 through your generous support at our Macmillan Day.
With that kind of track record, we can only go further next time! We’ll post next year’s date as soon as we have one, so keep your eyes on our latest updates. And of course, thank you for your help.
Our neighbours the Park Street Baptist Church produced this moving video for a socially distanced Remembrance Sunday. It’s absolutely beautiful.

On this most solemn of days, PSRA was on hand to honour those fallen in conflicts.
Social distancing was obviously in effect, however, several PSRA committee members were present when Joy read a poem in remembrance.
Taking a Stand
I ask you to stand with me
For both the injured and the lost
I ask you to keep count with me
Of all the wars and what they cost
I ask you to be silent with me
Quietly grateful for our lot
As I expect you’re as thankful as me
For the health and life we’ve got
I ask that you wish them well with me
All those still risking their all
And I ask that you remember with me
The names of those that fall
I expect that you are proud like me
Of this great nation of ours too
So enjoying all its freedoms like me
Support those upholding them for you
I hope that you are hopeful like me
That we’ll soon bring an end to wars
So you’ll have to stand no more with me
And mourning families no different from yours
‘Til then be thankful you can stand with me
Thinking of those who now cannot
For standing here today with me
At least we show they’re not forgot
