Jane and I to Kristingle service at St Helena's. Baking, second hand books and clothes for sale in the courtyard first, along with mince pies and mulled wine. Jane wins a bottle of olive oil with herbs inside. Bit coals to Newcastle that. Kristingles at the end of service - oranges with red ribbon around their equators, a candle and foil imbedded in the top, and 4 toothpicks with sweets. These are symbolically the earth, Christ's blood, the light of the world, the four seasons, and the fruits of the seasons.
