A Tempestuous Night And A White Awakening

Well, the weather over the weekend was certainly interesting …….. what with Storm Arwen leaving I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here no alternative, other than to put out a recorded version of Thursday/Friday events (for the first time in its history) because of the forewarned and foreboding snow and forecast 100mph winds.  We just battened down the hatches and stayed warm and cosy ………..

……. to be greeted, in the morning, by a carpet of light snow and it’s not even December yet ………..

…….. as soon as Nigel clapped eyes on it we thought he might burst with dreams of snowmen and sledging in the park.

However, we decided we wouldn’t, after all, go to the official Christmas Light Switch On in town, staying warm and safe being the order of the day, after all, we wouldn’t want to loose Nigel in a sudden, unexpected gust as he bent down to stroke a reindeer would we?  Instead we “officially” switched on our own festive lights with a glass of warmed celebratory Cherry B in place of the mulled wine we would undoubtedly have had up town……. before settling down to a bit of “Strictly”!   …….  It was emotional …….

You made a fine evening out of it, by yourselves.

Did they have a famous celeb, to turn on the lights? Maybe they could invite Hugh, next year. And, perhaps, Nigel, the year after. Young Nigel must be famous, about town, what with this blog and his distinctive appearance, too.

Oh it’s all been a bit dramatic here with many trees down in our area. Very sad. šŸ˜” You did well to stay indoors with a cherry b, losing young Nige would have been a...disarrrster darling, as Craig Revel-Horwood would say. Take care. JantheFan x
