Christmas is coming.

Santa Claus arrived by barge this evening. The towpath and bridge by The Waterside were packed with excited children and their parents.

Mulled wine and 'festive' pizza kept everyone warm as the flotilla (is that the collective noun for a fleet of narrow boats?) made its way down the canal. It looked great.

After mooring, Santa climbed aboard his sleigh and made his way over to where he could distribute gifts, O got a yo-yo, he was thrilled! Well done Sale Cruising Club for organising it.

I had wondered whether O would be having doubts about Santa's authenticity but, I'm pleased to say that judging by his reaction, it appears that he's going to go with it for at least another year.
