Saturday 8 December Carols in the Gardens

This evening was the Mayor's Christmas Carols from the Botanical Gardens; a free outdoor concert with the stage less than 100m from the boat. During the day we wandered into the Gardens to find out more about the concert which we'd been listening to the rehearsals all week. It was a concert for all, bring a picnic basket and a rug, no alcohol allowed, and enjoy the choirs of little angels singing Jingle Bells. Well it turned out Jackster was anchored as close to the action as it was possible with a view of the giant screen.
We opted t listen from the comfort of our own cockpit; no trip to the dinghy dock, queue to enter of queue for the loo and we could enjoy a glass of wine with dinner. The concert was very good with all our favourites. From time to time a passing paddle steamer gave us a roll and a blast of their rock music.
