Yesterdays Report.
Hi Keith, We had the last of our santa spls today, 200+ visitors.
Luckily the heavy rain kept off and it wasn't intil around 1430 that we had drizzle rain blowing in on the wind,which didn't really matter and didn't spoil anything for the final visitors at 1500.
This has been our best year to date with over 1300 visitors over the five days. Congratulations.
Today we had some of the cast from the Yeovil pantomime 'Alice in wonderland' visit us for most of the day, which I think the young ladies might have been a distraction to santa when they rode on the train. Also at the far end of the line at 'NORTH POLE HALT', we had santa's workshop with working toys in the windows.This being a new innovation this year.
enjoy the pics cheers JOHN C.
Many thanks John and a very Happy Christmas to you.
