Tomte Visit the Forest



A little forest of Christmas trees has been growing in the shop. A couple of Tomte have popped in to see what's happening, and a Christmas hat appeared out of nowhere.
 
All very cute, but hiding a tasty secret - a Terry's Chocolate Orange.

The patterns are available, as is the yarn, and the various trimmings.

Accessiblity

 
A post on facebook started, "Every single time somewhere doesn’t list their wheelchair access info on their website or event pages etc this is what I feel like when I make the old “Oh hi are you wheelchair accessible?” call." She mentioned how much time she uses to make sure she can get into various locations. I realised we haven't published that information about Joan's.

Joan's is accessible by wheelchair, and those with mobility devises. From the Shoprite car park, there's ramps coming down into Village Walk. These ramps are steeper than modern standards.
 
Just before the exit of the car park, there's a pathway down into Village Walk. This has a much shallower ramp, and might be more suitable to some.

There is no step into the shop, but the door is heavy. Tap on the windows, and a member of staff with happily open the door for you.
 
Service animals are very welcome, and staff have been trained not to engage with them.

Seats are available in the shop.
