Christmas Sleigh - 2011

Santa and his Helpers at Poplar Tree Garden Centre.

And - for the first time ...

... we took the Sleigh to Palace Green, in the shadow of the magnificent Durham Cathedral,
during the Durham Christmas Festival ...

... where Santa was persuaded to accompany the choir of
Darlington Arts Academy!

Santa with his little helper (aka Rtn. Pauline Crow) at the Dragonville Tesco store.

Santa with a couple of friends in Bowburn - the grandsons of Daphne & David Wallace.
(And my thanks to Granny Daphne for this photo.)

Santa in Durham Market Place ...

... where Rtn. Tom Wilkes took up his customary position at the entrance to the Indoor Market
(and manages to collect as much as all the rest of us put together!).

Santa talking to an enthralled youngster.

Santa arrived early at Sainsbury's at the Arnison Centre ...

... where he met two of my grand-daughters, among many other excited children.

Well - that's it for another year.
