    Default Christmas ride out

    We came back up through the town yesterday to be confronted by a long procession of about 30 pony and trap sets going towards the beach. Most of the owners sat in the traps, dressed up as Santas, elves, etc.

    It was the Christmas Ride out once again!

    The Farmers' Market was also in full swing, and the Christmas lights, when seen later on, were wonderfully bright and colourful!

    (Please excuse the quaity of the pics. I had to grab my camera in a rush - from the dark depths of my handbag)

    Not worth mentioning!

    Well, I must say, the "Santa" in the last picture does look a bit disarranged! And his "Mrs. Santa" seems to think: Why am I here??????

    Yes, it was in New Milton, Rolf!

    (And I DID wonder what Mr and Mrs Claus had been up to, Carin!)

    How lovely, I love the way that some of these things start up (or keep going). I also wondered if Mrs Santa had given Father Christmas his present early

    I don't know who Lisa Dingle IS, but I guess she'd 'Dingle all the way' in that trap!
