Post 5 2017- The Wheels on The Bus go Round and Round
In 2016 inspired by my first round of Christmas Lights blogging, Daniel Evans emailed me with a high priority top level task of planning the ultimate Christmas Lights Bus tour. With a small hire bus alongside great company, including progressive degustation, conversation and fantastic Christmas displays, the evening felt to be a resounding success. It got me thinking, what a great way for a group of people to get into the Christmas Spirit together plus unwind, at the same tim
Post 4 2017- True West
Sunday was the last night I had left to check out displays before the evening of the Christmas Lights bus tour.

Following a beautiful dinner of Mexican in Bulimba, we set off and visited 9 different displays. I introduced them to my scoring and rating system and after a bit of laughing from them (don’t
Post 1- 2017 Here we all are. Illuminated.
2017 has been a stupidly busy year for me and I really didn’t think I’d have the energy to get this blog happening again. But as I seem to be developing more and more stupid habits as I get older, I feel I can’t pull a Taylor and shake this off just yet (I know, that joke was so 2014). Elf Jason Maybe the reason I restarted the blog was because I have this existential need to creatively express myself further in ways that light just can’t do it for me or that after last year
