Although Aunty A had done well on her first couple of nights, it had been down hill ever since. She was going to bed and waking up 3 times before we’d even reached midnight! By the end of her first week we decided to go take her out in the evening to try and keep her up late and hope that the fresh air made her sleep once she got to bed.
As the forecast looked good for Friday night (good = not raining) we bought tickets for the Bellevue Botanical Gardens light display, Garden D’Lights. We arrived at about 7pm and set off round the gardens. The boys oohed and aahed but Anuty A had the Christmas grumps (or was very tired) and didn’t think much of it all! The next day she claimed to be feeling unwell but we think she was just being the Christmas Grinch!
Either way, the rest of us enjoyed it and the lights looked lovely. Not tacky at all!
It still didn’t make her sleep any better. Oh well, at least we tried.
