title A Christingle Service, St. Nicholas Church, Oakley, Suffolk - 24th December 2019 intro Fred and his friend Matthew are playing in a Christingle service at St. Nicholas Church in Oakley, where Harry is grudgingly persuaded to appear as one of the three kings before he decides it's actually quite enjoyable. Before that - as it's Christmas Eve - the boys get to do their self-imposed new tradition of opening a present. Then, Nosher and Fred are off to a damp Diss to pick up the Christmas meat from Browne's the butchers. imgp8319 Fred and Harry open an early present each imgp8321 Fred's got a new book imgp8323 Harry's got a Christmasaurus book imgp8325 Fred wanders up a damp Mere Street imgp8326 Uncle Mick does his thing outside Boots imgp8327 It's crazy busy in Browne's the butchers imgp8328 Richard and Dan on the go imgp8330 The former Hopgoods is vacant again imgp8331 The police van cruises around the marketplace imgp8332 Another vacant shop imgp8334 Mere Moments café has closed up imgp8335 Another couple of closures imgp8337 Wet paviers on Mere Street imgp8339 There's a fire engine on Mere Street imgp8340 Harry and Isobel in Morissons imgp8342 It's officially Christmas with a brass band imgp8343 Fred and Matthew set up imgp8344 A bit of practice occurs imgp8346 Matthew checks music imgp8348 Fred blows on his flute imgp8351 Fred checks his notes imgp8352 Harry's dressed up as a king imgp8353 The church looks like it's bathed in a warm glow imgp8357 St. Nicholas church, lit up imgp8359 Skeletons of trees imgp8360 The nave of Oakley church, before the crowds arrive imgp8361 Harry with a paper crown on imgp8362 A Christmas-tree pine cone imgp8364 Harry is persuaded to play the part of a king imgp8368 Harry chats to a fellow "three kings"
