Santa's Grotto........

........ at Pacific Fair, before the 'little darlings' arrive.

We arrived at the shopping centre at about 9.15, and as the shops don't open until 10, we went for coffee.

The car park was much busier than on a normal Sunday, so obviously us wise ones had decided to get there early to avoid the mayhem that comes later.

But it never did get that busy, and we had a nice morning wandering around, a quiet lunch and then back home.

I was full of good intentions of finishing off the Christmas decorations, but I got a bit side-tracked watching the cricket!
