It had to happen sometime – 9 days of fine, dry weather and now the gales and rain. Nevertheless, the usual culprits turned up, together with lots of people new to this form of evening “entertainment”, so it was interesting to see introductions being made all round.

The theme of this window provided a timely reminder that not everyone is out partying for the 24 nights of Advent.
