Many thanks to Sarah (yep, my wife) for sending me the above photo of “the Beetle” that’s been decorated with Pudsey bears and spots for this year’s Children In Need which takes place today.
The latest incarnation of the car is another great effort from Derek Holmes and his team (and family) at Discount VW Audi Centre. You’ll have no doubt seen the vintage VW Beetle in various guises throughout the year, but if you’re not local or you’ve missed seeing it, then take a look at their facebook page. Presumably Father Christmas is next?
If you’d like to donate to Children in Need then this BBC page covers all the ways you can.
I love this car and all its guises, it never fails to bring a smile, even on the greyest days.
Derek is one of the many special people who take the time and have the passion to care about their village and residents.. They bring Hoylake alive with colourful displays, be it a car, flowers or edible gardens, Festivals and parades and Christmas lights.
As a village, we have a lot to thank them for. I hope we all look to support them and local businesses this festive season.
