Last year one of our stand out halloween memories was taking part in our local Pumpkin Hunt with Demelza Hospice.

Advent as we knew it back in the day was all about the excitement of opening a perforated piece of card and seeing what lay beyond the paper window. A star? A robin? A snowman perhaps?
