For years we have had some garden solar lights, the stick in the ground type, quite pretty and sedate if a bit like a landing strip. We then added some fairy lights, again fairly low key and twinkly. This year we seem to have gone bloody mad with them. I had some more for Mother's Day, stick in the ground ones which change colour, then a rather nice tall one like bluebells for my birthday, plus one in the shape of a cat. It was today that did it. We saw some string lights the size of Christmas baubles. They are coloured but subtle. Sadly DH has stuck them on flashing mode. My garden now resembles Fremont Street in Las Vegas and I can feel a visual migraine coming on. First job tomorrow will be to switch them to twinkle. No more!
