The rain didn't put Santa off - he flew in with his Air New Zealand umbrella and gave out yummy cookies to kids and adults alike.
As you can see, Santa has been eating healthily lately, lots of fresh produce from his local farmers market.

Christine braved the rain to entertain us with her violin. She did an amazing job, and is a very skilled musician. Bruce from the Tear Fund had alternative christmas presents available - buying resources for communities in less advantaged countries. The Council entrance proved to be a great spot out of the rain and may well be a regular spot for our musicians.
