Westquay The Festival of Lights Experience

The Festival of Lights at Westquay

One cold Saturday, we went to Westquay to shop some clothes for my little boy who's growing fast and needed some new clothes from socks to trousers, t-shirts. And then some shorts for his swimming lessons and also for the forthcoming Summer. And we're really looking forward to that one. By the way we shopped at Matalan. Then after we finished shopping, we were hungry so we went inside Westquay at the dining floor and couldn't decided where to buy because there were loads of people at the time, so the easiest choice would be McDonald's. Anyways, my little boy loves Happy Meal because of the toys.

After we finished eating, we went down and shop some more. Actually, it was my lovely wife who went for shopping. My boy and I were just by the corner or sitting by the side of the corridor waiting. My wifey went in Steamer Trading Cookshop whilst were were outside by M&S. Such a shame, the chairs outside were jampack because of the phone charging station. Then, wifey and my boy went inside Smiggle. Now, Im all alone waiting outside. Hehehe. Then, they went inside Cath Kidston but my boy got bored and tired so he went outside and stayed with me.

Fastforward..... we bought water in Superdrug and headed to the Festival of Lights. It was rather cold but worth it. Because, it was really amazing from the sound effects to the projector and the water fountain and all the lights. Kids just loved it. Running around, getting wet because of the fountain but there's no stopping them. Even my little boy was wet because of running around in that fountain. Lots of amazing lights. There were queues but we didn't mind. It was all fun. Head back home, while walking back to the train station in Southampton, the moon looks like having a lunar eclipse. We weren't sure and we couldn't get a decent photo but it was looking weird like in a movie. Then, there were train delays that evening. So we were stuck at the station for nearly an hour. We did manage to reach home. And that was our Festival of Lights experience.
