Festival of Lights

My #1 daughter called in for breakfast this morning and a long overdue catch up – lovely, and tomorrow I’m off to stay with my #2 daughter and family for a couple of days, just as lovely.  It will be a girlie do, just daughter and granddaughter and me as M, husband is off on a course.  As it’s just us girls Mr HB is happy not to come but because of my dubious eyesight (cataract) I’ve elected to travel by train – Stafford to Peterborough via Nuneaton with a change at Birmingham New Street – should take 2 ½ hours but it’s a Sunday, so we’ll see, but I love trains so am quite excited.  
Should have done some preparation with packing etc but instead enjoyed a lovely day in town for the turning on of the C lights.  We bumped into lots of friends; there were lots of stalls, lots of entertainment, a lovely steam engine, and our friend the Town Crier announcing proceedings and another friend in his Rock ‘n’ Roll Band making wonderful sounds on his Bodhran drum.  I think they turned on the lights about 6pm which we didn’t wait for, so back to cook dinner and do that packing for tomorrow!!
