Those Christmas lights are fabulous and the white light theme works very well which brings a lovely old England feel to the village. Was the George pub open? It was closed a while back but I have spent some happy hours in there back in the 70s. One spoiler for Lacock, cars parked in every street and hardly any in the 70s.

@@NicolaExplores Thanks Nicola. Hope you guys have an amazing Christmas. It was a bit of a disappointment seeing as though in previous years the whole Abbey would be lit up. The food prices were extortionate as well. I watched another KZbin video the other day where someone was talking about the "sheds with holes in them " selling overpriced poor quality food. I dont think I could of done a video like that as I'm not that keen on slagging things off big time. I might just have a little grumble & that's enough for me. Maybe the stalls holders were being charged a lot of money for their spot & have to pass the cost onto the customer. 😊😊

@@westcountrywanderings Thanks Paul. We are not too keen on big crowds either that's why we visit on the evening but a lot of the stalls did pack up quite early. Maybe because it was a Tuesday & not Friday or Saturday. I like to experiment with different angles & the low shot is one of my favourites. I dont know what the little building is called but it is a lovely little cake & coffee shop. I have loads of "snow " overlays & thought it be fun to do.
