On Saturday afternoon we, me and two teenagers from work, spread out our blankets at Hagley park. We basked in the sun had fun and ate some chips. Waiting for the show which started at 7.30. Christmas in the park is a yearly event presented by Simon Barnett and Gary McCormick with stars such as Franky Stevens and Will Martin singing christmas songs.
After the break we got no one less than the popular band Atlas and several others. The show finished with father Christmas arriving in his sleigh followed up with a spectacular firework. There were more than a 100.000 people attending and everybody especially us had a great time.

hi Meggie Know you lived close to the park so you must have seen it lots of times
Oh and I got the tests back It as probably just a faint so that's good
Welcome back Marja, I love the pictures and you are already in the Christmas athmosphere. I wished I could celebrate it with you.
ReplyDeleteDag Marja,
Ik ben blij dat je terug bent en uw berichtje in mijn blog was heel fijn. Ik wist inderdaad niet dat je een vriend had in België maar je leeft nu in een mooier land. Langs de ene kant jammer anders konden we mekaar bezoeken maar ja het is altijd leuk iemand te kennen in Nieuw Zeeland die ook mijn moedertaal verstaat.
Ik vind het raar dat jullie kerstmis vieren in de zomer; bij ons is het altijd winter en hopen altijd op een witte kerstmis.
Groetjes
Erik
