Where will you go?

December’s holidays made some festive memories around Christmas, with Blackpool and Edinburgh. The pantos were so much fun, with Sleeping Beauty at The Grand Theatre Blackpool and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs at Edinburgh’s Festival Theatre. A weekend break in Fife with car hire included the guys enjoying fish and chips on the coast and the hotel’s pool table. Also visiting the Lille Christmas markets in Place Rihour, plus enjoying local landmarks, shopping and food on a day trip in France.
