12th December, I’ll be hosting the very special, annual Christmas Carol Concert in aid of Southampton Seafarers Mission. It’s held in the Ocean Terminal (Dock Gate 4) and was just wonderful last year. The Southampton Youth Brass Band will be playing, the Voxpop Choir singing. There will be some lovely readings. I couldn’t go without a cushion! I’ll be there before the start at 7.00pm to sell as many as possible! http://www.centresforseafarers.org/

From now until 19th December, the Solent MS Therapy Group in Portsmouth have a raffle with a cushion lurking. You’re welcome to pop in for a chat and buy a raffle ticket. They’re at Bradbury House, 56 Hewett Road, North End, PO2 0QP – they’re a great team who would love to see you. http://smstherapycentre.org.uk/
