Yuletide festival


I took a few photos of our cats today, but only Willow obliged me by looking at the camera. Here we have the classic cat look of 'Yes? You bothered me for what?'.

This evening our little village had its Yuletide festival. This basically means all the shops stay open later, and there was a Santa's grotto in  the Somerfield car park:D.
There's a lovely atmosphere for it, though it was a pity that this year they didn't close the Main Street for it, so the crowds were dodging the traffic. Amy enjoyed it, she loved seeing the police horses coming past. There was also a donkey out the back of the local coffee shop, but she was a bit scared of that. We did get a Minnie Mouse balloon on our way back to the house, so she's gone to bed happy.
Poor Peter missed it all as he's in Milton Keynes for the day, as you do. 
There weren't really any piccies to take of the festival, but earlier I took a photo of my front door now I've put my wreath on it.

I love Willow's look - sooooooooo typically cat LOL

Your festival sounds great - we used to have a Dickens type market in the run-up to Christmas but it always got hit by bad weather so they stopped doing it last year :o(

Your wreath is lovely - mine is ceramic and will go up inside the house this coming weekend.

Toni :o)

Wish our town did something like that. You are so lucky living there.
