On Monday evening, I was in County Hall to see the Christmas lights switched on. You can see the beautiful tree which was donated by the Blenheim Estate in the photograph at the top of this blog post. Children from the choir at Longfields Primary School sang carols around the tree to entertain us during the evening.
Afterwards, there was an opening of the artwork display presented to County Hall to decorate the corridor from secondary schools around Oxfordshire. I was pleased to have helped to deliver and collect the canvas from King Alfred's Academy in Wantage, which is shown above. Schools were asked to paint a scene depicting their surrounding area, and I think the painting above captures a scene of our historic Ridgeway and Downland views very well.
I am sure that everyone will be busy in the run up to Christmas, but hopefully I shall see many residents at our annual carol service in Grove at the Christmas tree near Millbrook Square.
