Christmas Lights Bourton-on-the-Water is pure joy. It’s not trying to be the biggest. It’s just trying to be the prettiest.
It succeeds. It laughs at the big city displays. It says, “Let’s keep it small and bright.”
You leave feeling warmer than when you arrived. Even if your toes are frozen. That’s the power of good lights and good company.
So go. Take the tiny trains. Eat the mince pies. Stare at the river reflections. It’s the best kind of sparkling silliness.
And yes, take a picture of the trolley tree. You’ll never see anything like it again. Until next year, that is.
