A Christingle Service, St. Nicholas Church, Oakley, Suffolk - 24th December 2019

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.
