Mike has asked me to thank you for all your kind Birthday wishes. We had a lovely time yesterday. Becky and Nathan spent the day with us, Dean came over after work and we had a nice meal together. Mike was pleased with all his presents and we even had sunshine for the only day this week.
After the family had gone, Mike popped out as he wanted to take some photographs of a particular set of Christmas lights.
We have a house not to far from us that draws people from miles away each festive season. The light display is something to see. The owner does it to raise funds for our local Children's Hospice and he has raised thousands over the years.
The photographs do not really do it justice. When you are there in person and walk all around, it is a wonder to behold.
These are just some of the decorations. There are many more, Victorian ladies and gentleman, around fifty snowmen but this gives you some idea of how wonderful this display is. It takes him weeks to get everything up and running but he does not mind because it is all in a good cause.

They're gorgeous. That santa looks huge. And it all goes to charity so it's a worthwhile effort. Think I would be stood there a long time looking at those. Imagine them when there is some snow about. He's got his very own lapland. It must being a smile to many a face. Brilliant Jeannette. Glad Mike enjoyed his birthday. xxR

Flippin' nora!! How much must their electricity bill come too lol!! That looks great thanks for the pics and I'm glad Mike had a good day :-)
Wow! Nice touch that they are raising money for a good cause too.
Wow! The lights are great! I just drove down a stretch of road where a group of neighbors have gone all out like that. We will have to drive back there at our leisure to view the lights. I love it!
Oh wow, they look wonderful. I love the way some people decorate the outside of their houses, and to do it for a good cause like that is a lovely thing to do.
