LETTERS – Thanks for bringing the magic

Over the past few weeks we have had some terrible weather, wet and cold but almost every night, stalwart volunteers from several charities are once again walking their way around almost the whole of South Holland to bring some Christmas magic to thousands of children and adults along the routes.
The Santa sleighs are working their way around our towns and villages, and they are a magical sight.
The Young Farmers Tractor run was absolutely amazing and was a great chance to show off your big, shiny and decorated machinery (cleaned and polished – which cannot be easy with all the mud this year!) for a good cause.
So, an enormous thank you to Rotary, Lions, Young Farmers, the firefighters and others doing similar.
It can’t be easy to get your thermal undies on and go out in the wet and dark evenings when everyone else is cosy inside!
So, an enormous ‘thank you’ to you all, you really are being appreciated by us.

Coun Elizabeth Sneath
