    Hi gents, what does one do when asked to participate in a Christmas event taking place a) to commemorate the refugees at the start of The Great War and b) staged on a brewery's court? =P~
    Here are a few photos of the event...

    Photo n°1 shows us setting up the scene, I'm unfolding one of my Swiss folding lanterns. There is also a hand cranked siren, this packed up on sunday! The next one shows our group on saturday evening while photo n°3 shows what it was all about, the children finding refuge in the christmas stable. In photo n°4 I try to warm up next to the Petromax...while my friends have a drink! (we offered our "jenever" to some of the onlookers, their faces were hilarious when they found out it was.....tap water! Or, as we called it, "actor's jenever" :lol: :lol: :lol:)

    Hi Ken, we were lucky as it was mostly the organisers (all volunteers from the neighbourhood) who did the hard work. As seen in the last photo, it was relaxing at times...... :lol: :lol: :lol: (I reckon most photos of me were taken when in this 'mode' :whistle: )

    All the best,

    Wim

    Looks like a jolly good time was had by all - very well done. And being in 'relaxed mode' has to be a good thing....
