Christmas Carols

The boys love music and singing so it seems a no-brainer to max out on carols by candlelight. On Friday night we went to the Barnes Christmas Fair. It had a real villagey feel and even though we aren't entirely local we bumped into people we knew. It was great fun walking from choir to band to groups of friends merrily singing carols while sipping on hot chocolate and mulled wine!

On Saturday we ventured to our favourite part of London. First we soaked up the atmosphere in the German style Christmas market on the South Bank. Then we walked across the river to Trafalgar Square to see the giant tree. The main event of the day was carols in St Martins in the Field. On the way home we enjoyed 'a hundred thousand' fairy lights. A lovely end to a lovely day!

Our final UK carol session will be the Donhead carols on Wednesday night at Sacred Heart - the day before we fly - hopefully we'll catch a couple of sing-a-longs in SA too!
