Christmas tree festival at St Mary's Church, Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire, Christmas 2022

Today I visited the Christmas tree festival at St Mary's Church, Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire, with a friend. We had a wonderful time enjoying another festival of wonderful trees. We also had a mince pie and a cup of tea, whilst a school choir sang. I think a vicar said something, we could not hear because the church was so noisy. I am guessing he was saying something religious, the sort of thing you would expect to hear in a old church.
