It would be interesting to know quite how many folk visit Foston’s lovely old St Bartholomew’s church for the Christmas Tree Festival which was as cheery as ever despite the cold weather – and it was a bonus to have some trees still up for the carol service and those who turned out for Christmas Day Communion.
