Are you turned on?

Unread post by Onelife »

At 6.30 our tonight our village houses will twinkle like little stars…we decided a couple of weeks ago to have a Christmas light turn on, we then plan to walk around the village ending up at different gardens for sausage rolls and wine. ’well that’s what the four that are coming to our garden are getting…the chiminea is loaded and ready to go so with the good news about the vaccine it’s going to be an enjoyable night for sure. :thumbup:

We are in tier two…. there will be two groups of six and one of four all of which will be social distancing as we walk round (not as a whole group)

Shropshire should prepare for a power drain in one hour from now :thumbup: :D

We've been "turned on" since Sunday. Have to do something to give a bit of cheer these days.

We turned our lights on Tuesday, as we are out in the sticks, very few will appreciate the wonderful glow emanating out from our glorious display of very bright LEDs that our string of dangly lights give. You can see them a mile away on the coast road, a bright glow all on their own. :clap:

Just been checking out our light sets.
I’m sure the bu99ers do their own thing in the loft. I packed them away last Christmas all nice and neat and tangle free, yet the today they’re like entwined spaghetti. :x

Before putting them away next year cut yourself a bone shaped piece of card board and wrap them round it…problem solved :thumbup:
