3rd December 2010

One of our favourite things in the run up to Christmas is visiting a really good Christmas Fayre (as Victoria Wood said, you get a better class of people if you spell it with a 'y'!) In previous years we've just supported our local school Kingfield Primary at their fair, but this year we took a trip up to Finchley Road in North London to visit the Danish Festive Fair.


Held at the Danish YWCA, it's a fantastically busy building full of blond Scandinavians and the well-heeled of London, buying food, flowers, decorations, cards, crafts and of course enjoying the cafe, bistro and hot dog van.

In London there are fairs organised by the Danes, the Swedes, the Norwegians, the Finns AND the Swiss. They all happen on the last two weekends in November and are well worth a visit! Find out more by doing searches on "Swedish Church London" etc and maybe we'll see you there next year!

Advent Calendar 2024

1st December 2024

Happy Advent! It's not often the 1st December is also the 1st Sunday in Advent, so we get to open our advent calendar AND light the first candle on the Advent Ring. Alt-text for the young people: a picture of an old-looking man (who frighteningly is only 31) about to set fire to a complicated construction of flammable tinsel and coat hangers. Welcome to year X of our Advent Calendar (it's probably 22 or so) and as usual we will be sharing the best of Christmas preparations and traditions as they come to us. Place your bets now on how long it will be until Adam is more than 24 hours late posting on the blog. Since we have a Blue Peter picture today, here in detail (from the "Blue Peter Make Cook And Look Book" 1978) is how to make your own Advent Ring, and for the girls, some Tinsel Birds.
