Christmas celebrations with the Firestarter team
Friday 13th December thankfully didn't include any bad luck for the Firestarter team as we got together for an end-of-year "business update".
To kick things off, we unleashed our inner artists at a guided painting session, where our brief was to replicate a tropical beach landscape something very familiar this time of year in Cheltenham. As you can see, we were pretty pleased with our results. Next, we headed to The Botanist, where we turned our hand to making a selection of delicious cocktails under the watchful eye of their expert mixologists.?
On behalf of the entire Firestarter team, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
