Day 21 - Jesus born in the manger
Where better than 'Court Farm Lane' to find Jesus, not born in a palace, but in a manger? Just like light in the darkest days of the year, the topic of sermons and readings - the new light shines even more beautifully and brilliantly through the darkness. Amazing pictures were created using nothing more than fragile tissue paper, black card and perfectly positioned light. There were opportunities inside to create your own too - while listening to St. Mary's bells calling all to the Carols by candlelight service.

Day 22 - See Amid the Winter's Snow... er Sun!
Welcome to an Aussie Christmas in Chichele...
Sun blazing, Fosters chillin', barbie sizzling, koalas napping and the kids surfing.
All accompanied by carols sung by 'Bucko and Champs' - obviously! :-)

Day 23 - O Come All Ye Faithful
The call went out to 'come to Bluehouse Lane' and celebrate Christmas Eve's Eve!
Gathered together to sing the famous carol, the test was to see who could remember verse 6.
(The other verses can be seen in the photos. Can you do it?)
We are nearly at the end of our journey. Thank you for walking with us.
Christmas Eve's 'garage' will be at St. Mary's Church. We hope to see you there.
