Xmas is definitely here now

Ventured a bit further today. Met Mr B at the new Italian in town. Had lemon tea to warm up (9-11C, cool wind, but mild & pleasant in the sun).

Then past the shops (lots of patient? husbands waiting outside shops carrying bags/minding dogs) to the square where the Xmas market was in full swing. Same overpriced tat, but punters were spending.

Last night, the opening of Christmas Wonderland. Fireworks resonated in the night sky and the sky lit up. ITV produced a wonderful video if you are interested (1mn 20sec) - showing the illuminated Christmas Walk in the Lower Gardens. They have pulled out all the stops this year. Will go down and see one evening.

It seems SILLY to be doing a Xmas blip with 6 more weeks to go, so have abstracted this. Blending the golden leafed trees and blue skies, with the decorations trailing on the Christmas huts. Thanks Admirer, for hosting Silly Saturday
