Here's the complete set so far. Lights at my end of town (the western end) plus the old town centre.

Yes. the streets were very quiet. The only place open around the square at 7pm Wednesday was Sir Harry's. Hardly anyone to see the lights.

Thanks Tom.  Sad to see the town so quiet.

Some more, taken last night. Up Rua do MFA, around the car park opposite the town hall then a couple of hours later back along the main road after an excellent meal at Indian Sizzler!

Thanks Tom.  The only Christmas lights I've seen or likely to see.

Thanks for all the fabulous photos Tom. We should've been there this weekend, as I've always wanted to see the Xmas lights in person. Fingers crossed, this time next year, we'll be living there permanently

Oh, and if anyone's interested, I renewed my UK passport online. The Peterborough office issued my new one the day they received my old one. Whole process took 7 days

Thanks. I still haven't seen any I like but can improvise an A4 page from a website I found.

Some more pictures of the lights on the way, taken last night.

Here we are. A giant Christmas box down by the pier and some of the other lights in that area.

Such a shame that a lot of us won't get to see them,& put some money into the local economy.
