The Water Gate is a superb ruin of an important tower and part of the historic medieval walls of Southampton. The Water Gate was a collection point for taxes and duties. It was built in the early 14th century, when goods were unloaded directly onto the shore and it provided secure access from the commercial part of old town to Town Quay.

One of my favourite Christmas songs is Greg Lake's
I believe in Father Christmas

They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on earth
But instead, it just kept on raining
A veil of tears for the virgin birth
I remember one Christmas morning
A winter's light and a distant choir
And the peal of a bell and that Christmas tree smell
And their eyes full of tinsel and fire

They sold me a dream of Christmas
They sold me a silent night
And they told me a fairy story
'Till I believed in the Israelite
And I believed in Father Christmas
And I looked to the sky with excited eyes
'Till I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn
And I saw him and through his disguise

I wish you a hopeful Christmas
I wish you a brave new year
All anguish, pain and sadness
Leave your heart and let your road be clear
They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on earth
Hallelujah, Noel be it heaven or hell
The Christmas we get we deserve
