00:00Well I hope it's brought a lot of joy to the community. Since we've had Facebook we have
00:06people excitedly waiting for the window and lots of comments when we put the picture up.
00:12But prior to that and also alongside the neighbours say they're excited to see what
00:17the window will be this year. They never say what is it, it's like they know it's a secret until
00:23it's up and I hope it does bring them a lot of joy. First preparation is finding a day that they
00:28can all make together in the busy season which was quite early, November the 17th this year was
00:34the day they could all manage to get together. My son travels down from London and so stays over the
00:39night before and then they come up and I've usually helped prepare the windowsill. Phil has made sure,
00:47my husband has made sure that they've got the correct paints that they need because as we
00:52childmind the paints get used during the year so there's the preparation for that and they know
00:59that they're in for the long haul of at least a day. It has taken two in the past but they seem
01:05to be getting more proficient.
