Today would have been the Christmas Extravaganza but that is not happening this year.

Instead there was the St Helen’s Christmas Fair in the church

The Hand Bell ringers provided music. They are not doing as many gigs round care homes and fetes as usual this year, but they did St Michael’s Christmas Fair last week and were at St Helen’s this week.

Outside we had snow for a few minutes. Relations up north had a proper snow fall.

The Mother Christmases ran the raffle.

There was a place for refreshments and stalls in the riverside aisle, and books and jigsaws in the centre neare the alter. The Christmas Tree is already up and lit.
