It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!

Sunday night was the big Christmas Lights Switch-On at River Green in Thorpe, near where we live...

...so we decided to wander down and enjoy the festivities. (Mark recently bought a new camera so it also gave him a chance to play around with it! Thanks Mark for the photos for this post.)

I love the sky in this photo 🙂

There were quite a lot of people and they'd closed the road for a few hours as well.

We wandered among the craft stalls, as well as vendors selling food, mulled wine, chestnuts, and lots of Christmassy fare!

I especially loved all the handmade jewellery.

There were even some rides for the kids to enjoy- proper old fashioned pirate boats, and chair-o-planes- looked like great fun!

After a while the local church group launched into some carols, accompanied by instruments- they handed out carol sheets to some members of the crowd and people stood around joining in.
