We hope to see you all at our Carol Service in the hall tomorrow night. 🎄

There is no entry fee but we are kindly asking for a donation towards Annan Town Band as a thank you for their performance and time. 🥰

Children/grandchildren who were not able to get a selection box from Santa at the weekend are more than welcome to pop along and grab one. 🍫

We will also have mulled wine, hot chocolate and mince pies for you all to enjoy. 🍷

It’s going to be a great night and will be lovely to come together as a community and welcome the festive period. 🎁

It’s blowing a gale so not the right time for lots of external garden shots from our recent tidy up ….but the inside is definitely looking Christmassy and the Gonk family have returned 😁😁❤️❤️.

The living room has also had an upgrade with new wallpaper as arranged by my sister, Susan, who works for Muraspec. Painting and decoration by Stevie McKie.

Merry Christmas to all past, current and future guests and also to all of the local businesses who support us.
Thank you.
