Some people have put up some completely hideous decorations where we are, its in aid of charity but uou cannot even see the houses they are mounted on. Someone had put a mini shed in their front garden and decorated it to be a santas grotto, Complete with lifesize(I guess as i have never seen him in the flesh) Santa dummy. I will put up some pictures when I have the time but you might as well see the Bradfield Southend illuminatios, dont ask for directions as you would probably see them where you are.
