Lights night

This morning Bel came round to spend an hour or so with me, she has finished inviting the jumper for her nephew and has now started knitting one for herself. She also took my bird jigsaw home with her so she will have probably started that when I visit her next week. I popped to the shops when she had gone and then took some bits thatI had for Sher round to her at shop. She said the my sgrafitto had been fired so we went to the other sh to collect it.
I finished off the tags and put them in a container ready to take to the church later. Then I cleared the hall and washed the floor, doesn’t look a lot different but I knew that it was time to do it! I did get a few more ices into the jigsaw, still all looks like one colour!
I went round to the church and took pics of the trees. So they are self explanatory.
Although it was wet and cold there were a constant stream of people coming to look at the trees. I went out side before the lights were turned on and there were hundreds of people not deterred by the weather. A before and a couple of after the lights shots!
I didn’t stay out long as I was using the walking stick and the knee was painful. Was sitting indoors with the cat on my lap when I got a phone call. Tina asking when the road would be opened so they could come home! They had docked early this morning and as Darren wasn’t too well and Tina’s sister in law has been quite poorly,m they just had a quick stop there and drove straight home. Caught me out as I was going to do the kitchen floor tomorrow and get shopping in! I did make a sponge this afternoon so there was cake! They have had a great time and I have some lovely gifts but will post them tomorrow.

  1. Another busyish day for you then.
    The dish looks good. Are you pleased with it?
    That’s a lot of trees in the church. It’s nice that they get so many people doing it, and it’s nice people come to have a look. The locals do seem to possess the community spirit for stuff like that. Good so many turned out on a miser night for the lights too.
    A bit of a surprise for you with the globetrotters turning up. I hope Darren is coming down with a dreaded lurgi of some sort!
    Back to normal ish routines tomorrow then.

  2. A misprint. I obviously don’t wish Darren is coming down with something 😂

  3. 🤣 A cold or man flu I think, there were some people with snuffles on the cruise.
    I think the tree festival has been going for about fifteen years and it certainly is very well attended. They have a memory tree in the Lady Chapel as well and that is always busy. People write message and they go into glass baubles on the tree.
    I am pleased with the dish, it was something different to try. I am going to another workshop with Tina, I think that is next week.
