December 17th - City Lights

Today, Dorothy Patches set off on her journey to visit her sister's family for Christmas.

To get to her sister's village, Dorothy had to pass through a large city, so she decided to look around at all the lovely Christmas lights.

First, she stopped for some dinner.

"Hmm," she thought.  "This place looks interesting..."


It was the best hamburger Dorothy had had in a long time!


Next, it was on to see the lights!  First, the biggest Christmas tree Dorothy had ever seen!


These lights made Dorothy feel like dancing!


There was even a castle.  Dorothy was very impressed - it made her feel tiny!


But her favourite lights were these ones - another very large installation, but very beautiful, with constantly changing patterns and lovely soft relaxing music...


Dorothy could have sat and watched these ones for hours...


... but she knew she had to be on her way - after all, her sister was expecting her that night.

Luckily, her sister's village was not far from here.  A quick bus trip and a short walk through the park, and she would be with her family.  By this time, Dorothy was very glad she had sent her luggage on ahead!


"It's just over this hill!"

Merry Christmas, Dorothy!

The Christmas lights Dorothy saw in this post are really some of the lights on the City of Perth's Christmas Light Trail - we had a lovely evening strolling around the city, looking at all the beautiful lights, and we couldn't resist bringing a Sylvanian along with us.  Dorothy was the lucky one this time, as we thought a whole family would be a bit much to deal with, and it fitted in well with her travelling alone to see her family (besides, who else would have enjoyed the fantastic burger more than she?)

  1. Dorothy looks so cute at the table of the burger shop! She does look hungry!

    Those Christmas lights look amazing!

    Hope Dorothy has a wonderful Christmas with her family.
