There's a place in Surrey where I land if I'm seeing family in the village we used to live. It's a large house with wonderful woodland surrounding it. Last December, I noticed a Variety bus leaving with children on ventilators as I went to pick up the helicopter.
Every year at Christmas time, the owners pack a sleigh with amazing presents, attach 2 reindeers (which have been at the property as long as I can remember) and their gardener dresses up as Santa. He drives the sleigh through the woodland and the owners two lovely daughters dress up as elves and leap around the trees.
The children are absolutely gobsmacked when they spot Santa with the reindeer.
They do this selflessly for around 40 terminally ill children every year.
Tragically, it's often one of the last things they get to see.
