House in Brayton spotted last night with enough lights to make the electricity meter do somersaults :crazy:

Yes, we have them down here too. There is one that I am sure is visible from the moon!

Over the past 7 years 2 close family members, and one on the periphery, have passed on in mid-December. It seems to be the time of year for that, unfortunately. Or maybe it's because it's the run-up to Christmas that it makes more of an impact. This year, obviously, we're hoping for a happier Christmas but we're also well aware that my better half's Nan, a wonderful woman I first met when she was a redoubtable 6o+ year old 30-odd years ago, seems to be on her last legs.
A couple of weeks ago, as my wife and I were putting the list together for whom we need to buy presents, I said are you sure we’ve got them here all as this list is short. I dug out lists from previous years, and they had all passed away over the last 2/3 years.

All the best to your Mrs and her Nan pal.

Is this the one that does it every year for charity SW, it’s an incredible display to be fair.

Not certain but think that may be the one in Burn (on the right driving from Brayton), that one really does a display that would give Chevy Chase a run for his money.

Cheers, BB. Hopefully we'll get to see her when we're over on the Isle of Wight in a week or so.

Finally finished the shopping & it's also been my wife's birthday so I've been a busy lad last few days. Now a few quiet days before the family get together on the big day.

We usually put one at each place setting BB just so that everyone gets one!

Seriously though hope you have a good one mate.

And I'd like to wish a Happy and wonderful Christmas to all LUFC talkers
