We usually take our grandchildren to visit Santa at a local garden centre and it's wonderful.
Last year we couldn't go. Because of tier 4 restrictions, they were closed. Despite there being no restrictions this year, they have chosen not to run the grotto.
My DD is very upset and I feel sorry for DGC as they really love the Santa they see there. But I feel a huge relief at not having to mingle with dozens of other families with such rampant variants around.
