Haven’t been into town to notice but I did see them getting organised a few weeks ago so I guess they are on by now. Did you notice the candle and berries that’s gone viral on FB? Can’t remember the town but it looks very rude!
That’s good old Bournemouth LOL! They’ve had their lights in place for weeks, but I think it’s the end of the month for the light up. They’re not having an official switch on this year as last year’s was so badly organised it was chaos - glad I didn’t go!
Ferndown, just above Bournemouth, is lighting up some new areas this year. which will be a nice change - usually just the centre where the shop are is lit, and it’s the same each year and not very exciting.
I’m in the middle of two places. Si been to two I don’t know if any of you saw it but I went to Croydon lights being switched on last Friday. It was a nightmare the fireworks went off and hot bits of fireworks rained down on us. I left pretty quickly.
It was all over the news. But may have been a regional thing.
Then in Saturday after my fair I went to Sutton lights being switched on. They are lovely.
Ours are being switched on this Friday. We’re a little town in South Derbyshire called Swadlincote and always have a big celebration and fair, affectionately known locally as Swad lights.
I’ve just turned mine on to brighten up the dullest of mornings whilst I witter on to all you folks out there!
( there is a set of lights round a garland draped over the dresser in the dinning room that were never taken down from last year!), so dont start panicking that you are late getting yours up, just that I am a lazy toerag!!
