After lunch at Shaw House, I had time for a cup of tea at home before going to Trinity for Theo's academic review. Then it was back home, cook the boys tea then off to Thatcham in what by then was driving rain, for the Christmas Light Switch On!
I must admit it did put the people of Thatcham in a very good light - from six o'clock to ten past seven they stood out in the rain and supported the choirs of Francis Bailey, Kennet and Trinity Schools, and the panto cast of KATS, not to mention local shopkeepers and stall holders and the Cold Ash Brass Band. The whole event had a good community feel to it, but it was a relief to get out of the rain after the lights went on at 7.10pm.
After that I went to a fundraiser dinner at the Madagascan Gin Palace - the food was delicious!
