    Had a very festive day!!

    Also, got a lantern so my Christmas lantern is taking shape!! Just need lights, the mini tree and my sister is making the little fireplace I ordered a bit fancier for me :D

    Going to Wild Lights in The Zoo tonight. Hope it won't be too cold!

    Looking good!
    Would love to hear how WildLights goes.
    I keep considering it, but just not fully convinced...

    Well, just in from Wild Lights and it was brilliant. We got soaked but it was still a great night. Don't want to spoil anything for anyone going but any Boards Christmas Elves that are going will be very pleased! ;)

    Here's a quick picture I took. Not the best quality.

    Awh that sounds lovely!! We got through it in about an hour but that's because it was lashing so on a dry night you could definitely spend a couple of hours. Parking wasn't too bad but the train would be very handy.

    I think Dublin Zoo should pay me commission :D
