Trying new stuff is always a good idea. Well kind of. For Hawklad new stuff has to be carefully mapped out, introduced slowly. If you get that right then it is a good idea.

This time it was me that got caught out by NEW.

A trip to see some Christmas lights at Doncaster. Really enjoyable if not exactly very festive at times. A little more Lion King and Star Trek than Santa. But still good and Hawklad enjoyed it as long as we kept our distance from the crowds.

You can see the issue I would have later…l
At last a Festive feel….

So all great until I was dragged on this torture device.

I am petrified of heights, yes I admit it, that rather held back my climbing career….. Even a couple of rungs on a ladder is an issue for me.

This is way too high and most certainly not part of the carefully mapped out plans. Camera focusing is not easy with my eyes firmly shut….

  10. A unique display … loved seeing all the lights, but I’m so glad to find another who is as petrified of heights as I am!!! Like you, one or two steps on a ladder and I’m dizzy, shaky, and sometimes even have chest pain! When I was a child and there would be a carnival in town, my dad always took me on the ferris wheel and when it would stop at the very top, he would rock back and forth … making the thing feel as if it was falling and terrifying me! Perhaps that’s where my fear of heights first began! Then there was the glass elevator on the side of the skyscraper … 😱

  14. The lights look wonderful, Gary. And way to go for going up that Ferris wheel. I bet Hawklad appreciated it all. Wishing you both the merriest of Christmas! 💕🎄
