Although it was only organised at three days notice, over 30 adults and some children braved the cold to stand outside All Saints church, to light candles, hand out leaflets, sing, chant, play percussion instruments, chat and laugh, including

Thanks to Helen and John for the photos above. Beautiful photos of candles floating on the canal at the city centre event, we’re told a curious Canada goose may have burnt her tongue on a candle!

Special thanks to all who took photographs and handed out leaflets, to Vicki who got the thing moving, and to Oz and Margaret for their encouragement.
