St Johns Charity Shop, Brookfield
Hi Did you know that there's a great St Johns Charity Shop in Brookfield, in the shops where the bakery and the chemist are? It's a beautifully set out shop with good value items.
Also, if you're having a clean out, please think about giving your unwanted items to this shop - they're always looking for stuff to sell!
Most of us will use St Johns services at some stage in our lives and this is a great way of supporting them.
Thanks.
Worst Xmas ever?
There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.
Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...

Suellen’s sweet Christmas tradition
The festive season is always a great excuse to indulge your sweet tooth, and this time of year poses the perfect opportunity to bring a real showstopper to the Christmas table.
For Suellen’s family, that showstopper is Croquembouche, an impressive tower of cream puffs bound together with spun sugar that is popular at weddings in France and Italy.
What began as a birthday treat at a local French café has become a cherished Christmas tradition for Suellen and her 17-year-old twin granddaughters, Ellie and Sadie. Every year, the trio gather in Suellen’s apartment at William Sanders Village to cook this festive dessert - a holiday highlight they all treasure.
