Sandra Lee Myles cheerfully admits that she has absolutely no idea just how many Christmas lights she actually owns.
The 44-year-old smiles as she says she only stopped putting them out in the family garden when she ran out of plugs and extension cords.
“I’m a big kid at heart so it gives me a lot of pleasure,” she says.
“It just puts smiles on people’s faces as they pass.”
December is the month she decorates the garden for Christmas but this follows on from her displays for autumn, then Halloween, Guy Fawkes night, Remembrance Day and St Andrew’s Day.
She will also change her lights for New Year, Burns’ Night, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and Easter.
In total, she lights up her garden for more than half the year.
