The 2013 Display saw lots of new additions including lots more blow moulded figures and rope light silhouettes and we estimated that the display was about 3 times bigger than the 2012 display.
2013 was the first year the display was in aid of a local charity so we started set up 2 weeks earlier to get it all ready for our switch on which took place on the 30th November. Previously we didn’t switch on til the first Saturday in December however in 2013 we moved it one week earlier…that’s why we started set up on the 9th November 2013

The Rope Lights stars are in place on the display – clear for all to see
This is the Holly Tree lit up with the 400 blue bulbs – not a clear pic as it was at 3pm
Testing the rope light stars to make sure they are loyal this year again
One of our longest serving Rope Light Silhouettes – the classic waving Santa
A new addition to the 2013 Display – A Rope Light Angel Silhouette
These were some of the first ever Outdoor Decorations that we owned – they sing and dance to music
I suppose a bit of a novelty – Snowmen and Reindeers climbing Rope Light
Here are some of the many blow moulds and silhouettes pictured inside for the last time until January

There is more in the garden than what is in the image but we won’t tell you what that is…you’ll have to visit the display to find out
