Enchanted Felbrigg
Dec. 17th, 2018 09:49 amLast night,
down and I went to Enchanted Felbrigg, which is a holiday event held at Felbrigg Hall. They have a little story and all sorts of lights and storytelling activities and so forth. It's obviously aimed at families with young children, but it's also fun to see the wood lit up with so many lights.
It was the last night, and it was so crowded. There were families and people everywhere and I got completely overwhelmed and I fear I may not have been all that much fun to be with. I ended up sounding a bit like a whinging child myself. The lights were too bright, there were too many people and I was grumpy about all of this. I couldn't even bring myself to stay in the little glen with the glitterball because there were too many bright lights. (And poor Down loves the glitter ball...)
Now it seems that I am probably suffering from a cold and that would probably account for being low on spoons. I still need to go into the city today to return a book to the library and put a cheque in the bank, but I might come back home and sleep after...
Probably not, though.
It's so bright and sunny today, which means it's going to be so cold.

(Going into the city did mean being surrounded by loud and busy people. Medieval streets aren't best equipt for such crowds at times.)
