TURNING ON THE LIGHTS NIGHT

On the first weekend in December the residents of our village turn on their Christmas Lights and invite family and friends to stroll around the streets and enjoy the spectacle. Afterwards we all meet in the community centre for drinks, carols and a chat. 

This year our walk was disrupted by a storm. Everyone had to run for cover, which was sad. However, Bill and I continued our walk the next evening.

We set off from our unit.

Our next door neighbour and his granddaughter.

There were quite a few visitors  and some children had baskets of chocolates to give out to passers by.

The sky started to look ominous and not long after it poured down.

The next night the skies were kinder.

The village looked really pretty.
