Village Matters

Van Wonderen’s Christmas Window

When I was little I remember my parents taking me to London at Christmas time to see the lights and the Christmas windows. I seem to remember Hamley’s and Harrods had particularly wonderful displays of snow scenes and animated snowmen etc. It was magical. But we don’t have to go to London. Van Won-deren Flowers on the parade in the village, decid-ed last year that we all needed some cheer. So Dennis decked out his window display with a model village complete with trains and windmills which were animated. It attracted so many chil-dren, whose faces lit up with glee at this magic. So this year Dennis van Wonderen has done it again. This time the village is bigger and better, with many new attractions. He wanted to give as many people the chance to see it and enjoy it as possible so it will be up from November to the end of January. It is animated in the late after-noon and evenings so do go along and experience the magic for yourselves. Meanwhile you will see we have featured the village on this months front cover, and here is another view of it too. Thanks Dennis!
