Charity at Christmas

I have had a full on day of Christmas shopping, ending with a long overdue haircut ! Back home to sort the Christmas Tree out.

The city centre had that "the day after the night before" look when we arrived first thing. Less said the better.

Lots of things going on for charity. The singers in the blip were raising money for the Christie. They were singing about walking in a winter wonderland when I took the shot. We need christmas songs about grey rainy days when you do not need to wear a jumper because it is too mild. Carols for an era of global warming.

In the extra, the side of a building in the northern quarter, which has been turned into one big advent calendar. The scene behind Day 20 to be revealed tomorrow. Funded by the friends and residents of Lever Street, all profits to the Wood Street Mission.
