Default Magical Lantern Festival

Tonight the family went to this amazing spectacle. It is the first time the
Chinese have done something like this in the UK. Some photos to give you a flavour of the illuminations.
This one is because it is the Year of the Monkey

One of several peacocks. Some had blue plumage and were lovely too.

That must have been a wonderful experience! The photos are very nice. I haven't seen anything like that - in Spain they have an amazing carnival in Barcelona (6th January I think) which is giant puppets and colourful and lit up, but I haven't seen anything like that in the Uk before - and certainly not where we live ha ha. I bet it was a great atmosphere.
