    The plan was to got to ds for New Year’s Eve and he was going to cook something special for the occasion. Anyway the sun shone yesterday morning and he phoned and asked if we’d rather go for a walk by the sea to the town with the big tower as the weather forecast said it should be dry until 3 ish…we said a great big YES. He picked up up at 10 and we headed off along the motorway in 🌞. About 30 minutes into our journey it went black then the rain started….it pelted down from about 11 am. Obviously nobody told the clouds they weren’t to let go of any liquid until 3pm. The plans for a walk were quickly changed to a trip around some outlet shops in the next little town. From there we went to our fave cafe. We finished just as the illuminations were switched on at 4.30…. We drove through them and it was lovely  in ds car with the big glass roof 😁 
    I used to live there and locally it's known to have it's own microclimate, so the generic forecast was probably right but not for the seaside end of the M55! Nice that the illuminations were still on though, I think they look best in the rain.

    Can somebody remind me how to start a new thread? 
    Floss the illuminations are on until next weekend this year. The last year or so they’ve been on until New Year’s Day. Never made sense to turn them off in November when everyone else was turning their Christmas decs on. I don’t like the centre of town but love either end and have walked many miles on the seafront there. We live just over an hour away on a good day with no traffic.
