Chinese New Year was on 26th January, but Newcastle Council likes to hold the celebrations on a Sunday - presumably so it can close Stowell Street for the parade without causing too much chaos. But there was a football match on last Sunday, so the celebrations took place yesterday.
I waited 45 minutes for the parade in the freezing cold - but it did mean that I was near the front when it started.
Unfortunately, my camera’s broken. I’m not sure what’s wrong. I have enough pics from various places today to keep posting for a while and I can always use the camera on my mobile, but it’s possible that posting might become sporadic. I’ll keep you up to date.
