Santa's flight path

I saw a post on Facebook that the Rotary Club were guiding Father Christmas around Shrewsbury tonight...and he was flying past not far from our house.

So we dutifully went out to wait for the man himself. We went out just after 6 but 45 minutes later we were still waiting and still trying to keep Owen contained. So we decided to call it a night but just as we were about to leave we saw him coming down the hill and up the road waving to all the children.
I'm not sure Owen really knew what to make of it all but it's the closest he'll get to meeting Father Christmas this year.
