Queue @ MindSay

Today my mum, sisters, auntie and myself went to the Grassington christmas festival in North Yorkshire. Trouble was we didn't get any further than the road on the way to the park and ride site. We queued solidly for an hour and were just 6 cars from the car park when the Police came along and told us that the car park was full and that we would be waiting for a space. We decided to turn around and go home - but stopped of for a gorgeous pub lunch at the Bay Horse in Yorkshire.

What was upsetting was that there were over 20coaches in the queue, all with people who had paid money to go to this event. The old ladies and gentlemen were all dressed in their best attire, hair all nicely done for a fun, exciting day at a traditional christmas festival.

I do not know if they got there, i hope they did but i wouldn't hold my breathe, the queue was huge, even longer than when we joined it and more cars and coaches were joining it by the minute.

It just shows you that people like christmas that they want the christmas spirit and traditional festivals but only a handful of places do them.

Why don't more places go back to traditions?  - - I have my opinions.
