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

00:28can 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
