Christmas at the Town Basin

At 5 p.m. yesterday we went to the Town Basin.  There was the fortnightly Food Market on the Canopy Bridge and a Christmas Concert.  The entertainment was excellent among other things there was a team of very young girls doing acrobatics, a fashion show from a nearby store,  The Whangarei Brass Band and  a group performing Zumba.

We sat on a grassy mound (not big enough to be a hill) and Doug ate Mussel Fritters and chips while I had Paella and to follow Doug had a delicious looking doughnut and I had a locally made Raspberry Raw Cake.  In fact it was so delicious I had eaten it on the way back to where we were seated and ended up getting a second.  see here  - It was only a small slice (or 2 ) that I ate.
