Lights!

Every year we go and see the festival of light… but… the last few years they have been a bit well.. to quote the large child ‘the same as last time and a bit broken’.

I was lucky enough to win a family ticket to this year’s festival, which has moved back into a park in the city centre.

The kids had a great time, we met reindeer and they held an owl… we got reindeer food for Christmas Eve and drew calendars.. we ended up with a hot chocolate to warm us up before we came home.

So.. the vote was it’s definitely an improvement, well done Sunderland Council!

Wonder what they’re talking about?

It started with little pumpkins..

Then a few spiders crept in..

Yay! I’m going to try and photograph some of my Halloween makes as I pack them up for transport today, wish me luck!

Someone said ‘blessed Samhain’ to me yesterday, and I just smiled and looked blank cos I didn’t know what it meant. Wiki says this, so you learn something new everyday, I guess!
