EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming print from December 1979, we are transported back to a Playgroup Christmas party in Lostwithiel, Cornwall. The image captures a magical moment as a bemused three-year-old girl comes face to face with none other than Father Christmas himself. The playgroup, nestled within the cozy rooms of the Vicarage at that time, provided an enchanting setting for this festive celebration. Surrounded by fellow children and adorned with twinkling lights and tinsel, a beautifully decorated Christmas tree stands tall in the background. Its branches glisten with baubles and ornaments carefully placed by tiny hands filled with excitement and wonder. The young girl's expression is priceless - a mixture of awe, curiosity, and perhaps even a touch of shyness. As she gazes up at Santa Claus in his traditional red suit and white beard, her eyes sparkle with anticipation of what surprises he might have brought for her on this special day. Photographer Jonathan Barker perfectly captures the joyous atmosphere that permeates throughout this cherished memory. This candid snapshot serves as a timeless reminder of the magic that fills the air during Christmastime in Cornwall – where traditions are upheld and treasured moments like these create lasting bonds between generations. This print is not just an image; it encapsulates the essence of childhood innocence mingled with holiday cheer – an everlasting testament to love, laughter, and community spirit found within every corner of Cornwall during those festive days gone by.
