Kiss Miss Pearl
at the Cross Scythes in Totley

Drop in for a mingle, a bit of Kris Kringle and a pop-up art gallery. But watch out for the mistletoe - Pearl might grab you for a snog!

Ladies Who Lunch
at Whirlowbrook Hall

A Brief History: Did you know that until the end of the 18th century, “decent” women had always gone knickerless? Respectable women continued to wear nothing underneath – only the ill or those sensitive to the cold were allowed to adorn such items. Maids were also permitted to wear undergarments, but only when cleaning windows!


These interesting facts, along with others will enlighten the “Ladies that Lunch”, in support of Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice. Local specialities (including art by Wildago) will be on sale before and after the guest-speaker luncheon with many unique Christmas gift ideas for both ladies and gents.

Edmund's 2nd Birthday


In November 2008 Edmund came to life on canvas and has been keeping himself very busy ever since. Besides Todd the dog, Edmund has made many friends and now he wants to share some cake and stories with them. Although he still hasn't met Pearl, she has contributed a case of her favourite pink cava (because she thinks the party is for her).

Garden Party


A garden party fundraiser was hosted by Pete and Irene, 2 of 23 riders who cycled from Glasgow to Sheffield over five days in June. Proceeds from ride sponsorship and garden party sales go to the Weston Park Hospital Cancer Charity and Neurocare. Wildago was a corporate sponsor for the Danny Porter Foundation, organisers of the ride.

On the left, Jaimie, daughter of one the cyclists, has created her own version of Wildago's "Edmund Grooms" painting.
