As mentioned in the Parish Magazine, Kay Short organised a Musbury Village Advent Calendar, where people decorate and illuminate a window of their house to mark a day in Advent.

Here are photos of all of the windows from Sue Irving – well done to all households involved.

Families (or indeed anyone) is being encouraged to create their own Easter Gardens (religious or non-religious) this year to brighten up the Village for Easter. Photos will appear below in the order they arrive… please send them in!  Click on them for a larger image.

“As we cannot do our usual Easter flowers and garden in the Church this year I have made the symbols of the crosses and tomb in our existing war memorial garden outside the Church. I will roll away the stone on Sunday.

We must not forget what Easter really means in these troubled times.”
