Missing the illuminated house..

the one in Poets Corner that used to have a grand lighting up on December 1st. They had been threatening to stop for some time when the kids grew up - but it was a lovely community event.I never thought I would miss the display, but I doThere seem to be many fewer lit up houses this year - or am I just moving about less?An effect of the recession maybe.

I missed the house in Poets Corner (was it Cowper Road?) too.  Such a shame!  Does anyone know why there are no lights there this year?  New owner I presume.

Not necessarily - The owners said they were losing interst as their kids got bigger and then they decided to have a loft conversion and so would have no room to store the HUGE amounts of lights.Whether that's what happened I don't know - but that was the stated intention a couple of years ago.
