Our what now seems annual carol singing event at Brambridge garden centre was again great fun. It’s always a pleasure to sing there as the shoppers are most generous in both their compliments and donations to our charity collections. This year over the Christmas period more than £670 was put in our collection tins and we were pleased to split the amount between Southampton Hospital League of Friends and the Countess Mountbatten Hospice – our sincere thanks to everyone for their generosity.
Whilst we were at the garden centre, we were able to enjoy not only some Christmas shopping, with all the tempting wares for sale, but also the cafe/restaurant, which sells the most delicious cakes.
Our abiding memories of our time at Brambridge are two fold – the little girl who danced to our carols for over 20 minutes and the rainstorm, for which we had to move the piano and ourselves in order not to be drenched! Not even a storm of such ferocity could drown us out!
