The weather wasn't very Christmassy, but the atmosphere was as we set out from Baffins with Santa and his elf helpers. Lots of seasonal music which you couldn't help dance along with and soon a lot of eager children peering through windows hoping to catch a glimpse of Santa as we went by. Travelling slowly down the different streets, a couple of people directed cars round Santa's sleigh as they drove home from work! We travelled in a figure of 8 around the chosen route admiring some very well decorated homes and it was definitely beginning to look a bit like Christmas..... By the time we got back to base, our buckets were definitely a lot heavier than when we left. We'd also lightened the load of our lollypop jars which proved very popular with the children (and adults!)
