Yesterday on Christmas Day, Julie and I popped into the lunch organised by the local Churches Together. It was great to see so many people enjoying such warmth, festive fun and amazing food! It was lovely to chat to people and exchange Christmas stories and Christmas hopes and Christmas wishes. And top marks to all the volunteers who had decorated the room, packed goody bags for everyone to leave with, created the quiz, served the food, washed the dishes, cooked the food, donated time and/or money to make this happen and so on and on!
This was Buckingham at its best. It was a joy to add a little Mayoral bling to the occasion. And I specially enjoyed the brief conversation with a Welsh lady who had recently move to Buckingham after becoming a widow a few years back. We were able to swap stories of the locality where my Mum still lives. And I was able to dust off one of favourite Welsh phrases:
Nadolig llawen a blwyddyn newydd dda
Lunch begins!
