AN inflatable snowman, shining stars, light-up reindeer and glowing candy canes can only mean one thing - Christmas has arrived at the Whattingham household.

Farnham deputy mayor Paula Dunsmore officially switched on all 75,000 light bulbs at 82 Greenfield Road on Sunday (December 9).

It is the 29th year that Gail Whattingham’s home has been transformed into a Christmas wonderland and, once again, money raised will be donated to Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice.

Gail encouraged people to “dig deep” as “every little helps”.

Donations can be posted through Gail’s letter box or made online via the hospice’s JustGiving page.
