\"\"<\/a>Everything else will still go according to the original plan – we’ll still have hot fruit punch, plentiful pizza and lots of Christmas goodies; Santa is busy figuring out a way to abseil down from the high gantries in the roof of the Odyssey, and we’ll still gather by candlelight in a darkened Odyssey Pavilion to sing carols and celebrate Christmas as the Titanic Quarter community. \u00a0(of all our bright ideas, we’ll only abandon the ‘blazing braziers’ – we’ll try to avoid burning down the house!)<\/p>\n

And Life in the Titanic Quarter is still continuing through the dark wet days of winter – a few snapshots of Dock Cafe today as customers shelter from the cold, enjoy steaming mugs of tea and lovely hot potato & broccoli soup, catch up with friends, or with work, or with the sports results, stretching out by the fire as the rain runs down the windows… Cosy, eh?!

(*I still do believe that it will stop raining, and probably in time for 5pm, but we can’t set up the piano and the PA system in the rain – so hey ho!)<\/p>\n
