Taking sanctuary

5 Dec 2024 • By Mary Anne Gill Share:

Sunday’s Cambridge Christmas Parade had only just got underway, but it was all too much for Toma Taute, pulled in a cart by Norma Taute, as part of the Sanctuary Mountain float. Not that Toma knew it, this was  Cambridge’s biggest parade in seven years – and umbrellas up or not, it was a cracker. Mary Anne Gill was on hand to catch the arrival of the festive season.
