turpsWe're off to Ignite tonight, a Christmas light trail at a localish National Trust place. It was booked a while back and I wasn't sure if it would actually go ahead when the NE got put into tier 3, which means no meeting up anywhere indoors or outdoors unless in household bubbles, but it is going ahead so that's good. As it's the only Christmas event we'll be attending this year I hope they're selling mulled wine. It's nothing I drink usually, but I do love a mulled wine when walking through York Christmas market, which is somewhere we've visited for years now but of course, couldn't this year.
To be honest, I was in two minds about going. It's cold, it's wet and it's been a day with the socket blowing in the kitchen again. But, I know once I'm there I'll enjoy it so I need to get out my big coat, find my hat and get going in a few hours.
I was going to deliver the cards to the estate neighbours today, but see cold and wet. Some of you may remember how James wrote out 50 plus of the things last year, well, this year I told him to cut down as we really didn't need to send a card to the house with the dog in the window that makes us laugh, or people we talked to once in ten years. So he did cut down... to 30 cards. Which is probably about right in terms of neighbour friends and people we'll pass the time of day with for a few minutes when we see them out and about.
I watched the latest version of The Secret Garden two nights ago and enjoyed it well enough. The trailer was playing before all the Odeons had to shut down, and I would have much preferred to see it at the cinema. But, it was good enough at home too, cosy under a blanket and drinking hot chocolate.
It's already dark here. It's going to be weird setting out for an evening event. But, lights and flames, maybe even a distant selfie with Santa. And on that note, I must find my hat and gloves.
