Everyone’s arrived in Bournemouth

At the end of the day, usually the traffic’s one-way - out of town. Tonight’s the opposite, gridlock coming in!

Here for Christmas hols, back to see family, last minute Xmas gifts and/or just to see the Winter Tree Wonderland, Xmas Market, go ice-skating in the gardens. It’s buzzing in town. The shopkeepers and restaurateurs must be happy.

Busy day, so late on blip. Went down, at 6pm, to see the lights with neighbours (second-homers up from London). So beautiful and great atmosphere.

Xmas almost here. Can start the countdown.
