EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from December 1935, we are transported back in time to witness a heartwarming scene of children and a country gentleman strolling through the picturesque countryside. The image exudes an air of nostalgia as it captures the essence of a bygone era. As they traverse along a charming lane, adorned with lush trees and hidden behind an old wooden gate, these youngsters and their companion seem immersed in the joyous spirit of Christmas. Bundled up against the winter chill, they carry walking sticks and baskets filled with holly branches, undoubtedly preparing for festive decorations. The country gentleman stands out amongst his youthful companions with his distinguished appearance - sporting a full beard that adds to his wise demeanor. His presence brings an air of wisdom and guidance to this merry group. The girls accompanying him radiate innocence and curiosity as they explore every nook and cranny along the footpath. Their eyes sparkle with excitement as they uncover nature's treasures amidst their surroundings. This delightful photograph is part of the George Garland Collection housed at West Sussex Record Office. It serves as a testament to simpler times when gathering holly was not just about decoration but also an opportunity for cherished moments spent together in nature's embrace
