Yeah my husband is putting me some white xmas lights in the garden tomorrow just round the patio area. I hate solar, not enough sun to keep them going and they never last.

Yep, decided to use my Christmas lights outside a couple of years ago and they haven’t moved since. had to buy new ones for Christmas! I also have solar ones but it’s nice to know on the cloudy days and the solar ones aren’t so bright that I still have my other ones. I ring the changes and put them on ‘twinkle’ at Christmasxx
