2010 FACTS:

Over 2000 lights have gone into the display, There are at least 400 LED lights and over 1000 Fairy lights.

My lights are not controlled by wizz bang electronics, to me Christm
as equals tradition and I will remain that way until I have been convinced otherwise or I learn how to programme a computer, lol.

I know that LED lights are brighter, but what is Christmas without hanging off a ladder trying to find the blown bulb in the string of light's, lol.

The roof was the hardest part to complete and took days to string up the 400 lights that needed to be displayed, let's pray they don't blow and last the distance.

This is my first year completing a large display and lot's of wo
rk went into creating a Winter Wonderland Theme of Colour.

The theme for this years display is called Winter Wonderland of Colour. There are 2 reindeers waiting on the lawn for Santa hoping to be chosen for Reindeer Idol (the winner gets to ride with Santa to deliver the presents) They were the 2 finalists in a long search of Reindeers.

The rain caused a lot of havoc with the light's but worked well for the roof as the string of light's that were not working suddenly came to life the next night after the rain.

I have learn't to be careful where I place my light's, the postman must take joy in running them over each day, hence a lot of fist pumping has been coming his
way, lol.

Do not try to string lights on the roof when the temp gets up, my favourite sandshoes learn't that lesson the hard way, lol..

And finally after weeks of hard work I am glad that it has all co
me together in a timely fashion.

THIS IS THE 2009 DISPLAY, WHEN I FIRST PUT ANYTHING OUTSIDE, A COUPLE OF STRANDS OF LIGHT'S, WE HAVE COME A LONG W
AY BABY ....
