A busy weekend in Pontefract and the advent candle lit

As we get closer to Christmas the number of events start to blossom and all of a sudden here we are in December. I noted with interest that American retail giants all for the introduction of Black Friday following on from Halloween.

Saturday in Pontefract was a nice busy market day with lots of folk visiting. Just what we want to see.

Last night brought a bumper performance by the Doncaster Youth Stage Band, the entry point for the first of the Doncaster Associations bands performing a variety of swing style numbers including a brilliant version of Smoke on the Water to a packed audience in St Giles church.

This morning back to St Giles for the first candle of advent to be lit again a wonderful moment.

Next week really starts to get busy and I may well meet myself coming back... If you see me out and about say hello.
