21st Dec, Twilight Market day, Chandler.

Lin wants to go to the 'Twilight market' today, which as the name suggests, don't start till late, well, when I say late, what I really mean is around two and go's on till eight, which is then pitch black, so where they get the name 'Twiligh't from beats the sh*t out of me.

 Today's a bit of a lazy day, just take the dog for a walk round the park, turns out we find the local dog park which has been closed for a while to let it recover from all the stuff dogs leave there. Guess what? whe're the first ones to use it on its reopening and for that honour, we get to meet the local councillor and to top it off, we get a free calender that has nothing to do with dogs. Does life get any better than this?

Its two thirty, Lin cant wait any longer and wants to get to the Twilight market NOW. I'm surprised really that we managed to hold out this long, thought we might end up outside the gates, waiting for them to open. Lin copy's the directions from google and we're off, so with only one or two stops along the way just to check out we're heading in the right direction and not going to end up in New Zealand we make fair time.

Now this may come as something of a surprise, but its almost like a real market, not every stall is flogging off some sort of craft or homemade crap, OK so the fortune teller was there and the bloke selling crystals, but there was at least two stalls doing coffee and even more selling food, (curly crisps on a stick and Portuguese chicken burgers do count as food, right?) we think one stall was selling parrakeet's, that or advertising a pick-yer-own co's the trees out here are full of um. All in all, it was quite a large market and even I enjoyed it, makes a change don't it.?

Just for a change, no scenery... no trees or roads or madly dressed up cows !!! and just to let you know other than food we/ I did not buy anything at the 'twilight' market !!!!

This is George, Grandson George..... how cute is he... and look at those big blue eyes...


And this is Oliver..... now he is defo up to something.... what ??? we dont know but theres sure to be a plan being plucked.... hahaha..


Love to all.

Happy Christmas and New Year to you all, have a good one, Lots of Love Linda and John xxx
