year.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>There was sadly no mini fairground, steam locomotive rides, mulled wine, Father Christmas or Forest FM roadshow.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, due to the ongoing coronavirus situation, a number of lights quietly appeared this week to the humbled relief of Verwood residents.<\/p>\n<p>A modest Merry Christmas sign has appeared near the war memorial, with a few surrounding trees and lamp posts also getting decorations.<\/p>\n<p>And as we took the photos around sunset on the day lockdown 2 officially ended, we see businesses such as Costa and Champion Barbers welcoming customers back inside their stores.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any photos of houses or businesses in Verwood who have made an extra effort this year, please email them to news@verwoodtoday.co.uk and we&#8217;ll share them
