Community carols, we gathered under the canopy and many of the local schools/organisations took place. The window howled, and the rain tried to seek us out, but the community spirit is strong.
You can just see the edge of the crowd at the back of the photo
@judithg The estate was the first to be built as part of the Birmingham/Black Country slum clearance in the 60's. If it is outdoor they can 'drift along'. We were dry under the canopy and the library offered a refuge if you needed it. I am always amazed that the parents turn out, not so many of the elderly from the local community, but not surprising given the weather!
