Christmas Lights Swtich On

There was a big affair in Northfield last Saturday, 5th of December. I was wondering why there was a road diversion in our road going to Maas Road.

As I went to work with my bike, I noticed the diversion signs in Maas, Rochester and Church Roads. Then, I realized that on that day was the switching on of the christmas lights in Northfield.

It was a very wintry rainy cold day and I think the temperatures plummeted to zero degrees centigrade or beyond that.

After my duty, which was actually my overtime, I pedalled my way home passing Northfield. There were road closures for the roads that I mentioned earlier. In the middle of the road of Birstol Road South, just right the post office and Boots was a small stage with so many performers. There was a lorry for the blood pressure and the Royal Marines booth. But the rain never ended and it kept on pouring. It didn't bother them and the show must go on.

I proceeded to the Northfield Shopping and there was a big christmas tree with gnomes sorrounding it. And of course, there was Santa Claus sitting on the chair, posing with kids for a picture taking for a fee of £3.50. I liked the dwarfs playing.

Then, stood near the stage of the children performing but the swiching on the lights would be by 6pm. So, I decided to go home first and came back few minutes before 6pm.

Exactly 6pm when the most awaited swiching on of the christmas lights took place. The carnival queen of Northfield and her prince were the one who switched on the lights. It was really a very very cold night.

As the christmas lights were swiched on, everybody were happy with joy and at last, it is the start of christmas.

Warwick Castle's Halloween

I've been to Warwick Castle so many times but only at this time at we went there on a holiday, Halloween. People bringing their whole families had enjoyed the treat of the castle. There were so many attractions to look at like the hill climbing and the white lady is waiting for you at the top plus the vampire bats that you passed through on your way to the summit.

The grounds was filled with outdoor shows that depicts the century date of time way back hundred years. The inside of the castle was also decorated with halloween theme full of cobwebs and creepy creatures.

Well, Warwick Castle is full of mystery and history. It's the best of all the castles and a must to visit place.

Rosas Pandan

I just found this video in facebook posted by one of my friends. When I watched it, I was really amazed. It is a great rendition of the greatest Visayan classical hit, Rosas Pandan. The GAA Chorale sings a Visayan Folk Song at the 2008 Spring concert. It is fabulous and a big plus for all bisdak.

Watch it.
