We’re delighted to share a special Christmas gift - a collection of wonderful stories from three talented local authors. From festive magic to real-life inspiration, there’s something here for readers of all ages.

These stories are for everyone to enjoy: https://simplebooklet.com/christmasstories2025 =1 and printed copies will be handed out to families attending the Christingle Service at St Mary’s church on Christmas Eve.

Inside you’ll find:

🐭 A Tale of Two Mice at Christmas by Rowena Heap - A hungry Town Mouse discovers the warmth and wonder of a village Christingle.

❄️ Chocolate Snow in Brezno by Sitala Peek - Two siblings facing a harsh winter find hope, kindness and a touch of Christmas magic.

We hope you enjoy these stories as much as we enjoyed bringing them together. Snuggle up, read aloud and share the festive spirit! ✨

As Doreen Smith (nee Heritage) is celebrating such a significant birthday today, we thought we’d relive some of the memories she’s shared with the Tysoe Record.

A big thank you to Carol Clark for looking them out and maintaining our archive. The first, ‘Down Memory Lane’ is from Nov 2023; the second ‘Tysoe’s Nightingale’ is from Dec 2023.

What I love about Doreen is that she is always so well presented and she’s still as sharp as a pin! You’re a marvel. Happy birthday. 🎈 🎂 🥳

Carols by Candlelight .. TONIGHT Fri 5 Dec at 6.30pm Winderton Church.

Come to this rarely opened church on the hill in Winderton for mince pies, mulled wine and songs, readings and carol singing.

Donations on the door for the upkeep of the church but wrap up warm and experience carol singing as it was in 1875 when the church first opened. Do come if you can.
