Father Christmas

We were driving through Morley at the weekend in our camper van when Jack nearly jumped out of his car seat and yelled excitedly. We had just commented that the lights were pretty poor... When we spotted, at the side of the road, Santa with a fantastic sleigh all lit up! Dave tooted and we got a big wave. He was just going to turn all the lights on!

The wind was pretty bad up here but the greenhouse survived and nothing blew away, or down! Albert tried to fly his massive stuntkite but it twizzled into a big mess! It is now un-twizzled and waiting for a calm day.

The great news is the tubular bells are finally on the harp and working! I now need to buy a further 3 sets for the other harps! I ended up using the insides of old plugs to grip the bar threaded through the bells and fasten it to the harps. Old fashioned cotton reels threaded onto harp string to play the bells with.

This Sunday I return to Wycoller Park. There is a free children's workshop in Pepper Hill Barn where they make Christmas cards and we learn carols on the cimbalas (small stringed instruments which are very easy to play). At 2 pm we all go down to the Aisled Barn and play a carol concert. 11-3 pm
