It was the Christmas Lights festival in our village today. The day when hundreds of people come out to enjoy the music, see the dancing, have fun in the fair, eat roasted chestnuts, wild hog burgers, delicious cup cakes and other food, and to drink mulled wine and sample the apple and pear juice produced in Kentish orchards.

Oh, and to enjoy seeing the beautiful lights along the High Street and beyond being switched on for the Christmas season.

Everyone always agrees: “We don’t do too badly for a small village!”
