KALEIDOSCOPE clients had a Christmas surprise on Monday as they were met by Gipsey and his friends, dressed up in tinsel and bells.

Senior support worker at Kaleidoscope, Linzee Gordon, and her friend Mandy Tucker from Aveton Gifford Preschool, arrived at the Fisherman’s Rest on Monday to greet the Kaleidoscope group who play skittles at the pub every week.

Linzee, riding Gipsey with his reindeer antlers and Father Christmas outfit, and Mandy riding Megan and leading Megan’s daughter Biscuit, both decked in tinsel and bells, met the group in the car park before they skittles session.

Everyone gathered around to feed the horses carrots and have a stroke, before going to play skittles and eat their meal, in a deal the Fisherman’s Rest give the group every week.
