Seasonal Savers offer 15% off! ‘Tis the season to be…now try as I might I can’t remember whether the next bit is jolly or merry, which is a shame as it is one of the Christmas carols that I find really ‘harks’ to the need for us to get into the spirit of the festive season. It is a bit more upbeat, rather than some of the slower ones that, I have to be honest, can leave me a bit low. I had to smile a bit when I read that last paragraph back, to see I have used a word like hark; I must’ve dredged that one up from the subconscious because I’m forcing myself to think of carols, and "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" is another one of the cheerier ones. The reason I’m wandering along this Christmas-carol cul-de-sac, is I am trying to get into the mood to write the page that some of you may glance over in December. DECK THE HALLS WITH BOUGHS OF HOLLY... Win a pair of raised bed kits When you think about it, entering into the celebratory spirit is pretty much what the majority of us do, isn’t it? As the nights draw in and the weather gets worse, we take a collective leap and launch ourselves into the swing of the festive season. This includes distracting ourselves with parties and chasing the darkness and bad weather away by “Deck(ing) The Halls with Boughs of Holly”, which translates into Christmas trees, tinsel and glittering Enter Jacksons' free prize draw to be in with a chance of winning a pair of raised bed kits. Simply log on to your local page (address below), and follow the easy instructions on how to enter. The draw closes on 31st January 2015. To enter, visit www.jacksons-fencing.co.uk/ashfordlocal. up anything that stays still long enough for a sprinkling. We’ve been doing it for centuries; mid-winter festivities were prevalent in Europe prior to Christianity becoming widespread, so early Christians wanting to convert pagans adopted many of the celebrations that recognise the importance of cheering everyone up with light, feasts and decorations. And in our own small way, we tip our hat to encouraging bonhomie and the feel-good factor at Jacksons Fencing. Without being too OTT or glitzy, we have our Seasonal Savers offer, which has become something of a tradition now. The products collected together for this offer include raised bed kits (like the ones you can win in our free prize draw), Sissinghurst planters, verge protection marker posts, log stores, wheelie bin stores, The Log Store has a featherboard pale roof to protect from rain, with slatted sides and rear to allow ventilation to encourage log drying. The timber-slatted floor is raised up from ground level to promote airing. Seasonal Savers offer 15% off! 146 and metal wall trellis. For the whole of December and January, we are offering 15% off. You can check all the details out on your local page via www.jacksonsfencing.co.uk/ashfordlocal, which gives you links to the products and informs you how to take advantage of the discount. You can also find out about Jacksons' vouchers on the site. We’ve had a spate of people buying our vouchers as wedding presents recently, so we thought why not make sure people are aware they can get £10 and £50 vouchers to give as Christmas presents too. Seasons greetings to everyone! Visit www.jacksonsfencing.co.uk/ashfordlocal or call 0800 408 4754 to talk to your local Jacksons Fencing centre. [email protected]
