Happy Christmas from the seaside.
Been at the SA for 7 hours - lots of lovely volunteers to help serve 60 meals. 40 socially distanced ate in the hall and meals were delivered to those who couldn't attend. A driver came back from delivering a meal to a single mum with a 9 year old son. Driver said that they had hardly any furniture and nothing Christmas in the flat. We put together a bag of food and goodies and he kindly drove to the flat again. The Mayor came along and a chap was playing the piano. We watched the Queen and had a quiz before guests went home.

As a summing-up for 2021, how many posters gave chazzer gifts this Christmas?
To start - out of 14 recipients & 23 gifts given, 8 were bought from retailers (albeit mostly outlets or reduced 😉) and the rest were charity shop purchases. They ranged from a Meccano racing car & various stocking filler books to a bn, still in cellophane board game & a large multi-photo frame.
