Our home town of Bishop’s Castle is a small and close-knit community in Shropshire close to the border with Wales. It’s the sort of place which still has a kind of unwritten seasonal calendar on which, of course, Christmas features prominently. So, the picture shows one of the first acts in the Town’s preparations as the tree which we are pleased to give annually from one of our nearby forests is hoisted into position outside the 18th Century Town Hall. The big moment comes on Saturday when the lights are switched on in front of a huge crowd….so watch this space!
