Trains, walking home and Christmas decorations

Yesterday the train services were messed up, and for a very sad reason, but I won’t go into that. But because of that I had to walk home part of the way, which was actually quite nice. It’s funny walking around places that you normally drive through. It changes the way you look at the area and you notice things in a completely different way.

Whilst I was walking back I noticed people’s Christmas decorations, or lack of them. It was interesting to see the two extremes. Some people had really gone for it and done a fine job (or not so fine in some cases). It seemed to me that some houses had been decorated very tastefully and some not so tastefully, but there were lots of houses with no decorations.
