We’re into the final countdown for Christmas now, our Christmas party bookings are all in and we are starting to dot the “i”s and cross the “t”s: yesterday Joyce bought the sweets for the guest stockings, on Monday a few of us are taking a trip out to buy some new Christmas decorations for the hotel.  We’ve used the same ones for a while, just adding a few new bits each year but now we do need to do something radical with our themes.

The biggest job to get done happened this morning.  So that Santa can get in without getting his red suit dirty we had our chimney swept, all 57′ of it!  It certainly was the biggest chimney that the sweep did today.

Having had the chimney swept we will now start to light the fire, once the new screen and tools arrive.  This will make a lovely first impression as guests come in.  It is only a small grate so it won’t give out a great amount of heat but the look will be good.  The receptionists are already looking forward to sitting next to it on the quieter evenings. I’ll be keeping an eye on them for sure!
