Snow and more snow

Tonight about 40 people turned out on a very cold but dry evening to sing carols next to the Christmas tree.
Everyone seemed to enjoy the singing, which was led by Martin Jackson, Vicar of St Cuthbert’s parish.
A white Christmas?
December 20, 2009
Following the heaviest snowfall of the winter – so far – I took my camera down to the village this morning.
I was too late to get a picture of Front street covered in 3″ of snow, as it had been at 7pm last night.
But the trees were still covered, including the village Christmas Tree.
There are more snowy scenes in the photo gallery.
Horse and carriage rides
December 7, 2009
The horse and carriage rides during the Victorian Christmas Weekend proved to be very popular
A big thank you to the North East Carriage Company for providing the service at their own cost. Over the two days the rides raised over £400 for the North of England Children’s Cancer Research Fund.
It is suggested that the rides should be a permanent feature, as it proved to be very effective in slowing the traffic down through the village centre!
Choirs and bell ringing

Many thanks to the Shotley Bridge Infant and Junior School Choirs who sang carols this afternoon. The audience was very appreciative of the children and also the St. Cuthbert’s Hand Bell Ringers, who provided entertainment for the Victorian Christmas Weekend.
Some of the children had arrived in Victorian costume and took part in the competition that was held after the singing.
