Boxing Day in Swanage

Thursday 26th December 2013

Having had a lazy day with family,  by late afternoon we were in need of fresh air and ready to blow a few cobwebs away.  We walked just over a mile into the centre of Swanage, taking in the Christmas lights,. There were more people wandering about than I expected and a few pubs and cafes open.  Some of the shop windows were beautifully decorated, and in the dark looked amazing, we needed a bit of sparkle.  Having had a quick look round we walked back for more festive food! 

Lots of festive glitteriness

On the journey home we had a traditional stop off at Corfe to have a look at the lights and the nativity people in a 'stable/shed' thing!  For a small village, the residents of Corfe pull out all the stops with their Christmas lights, it's well worth a look.  As usual my photos don't really do the lights justice because I wobble and move too much - even though I try not to breathe as I take them!
