The residents of Summerhayes in Milton Keynes have raised a whopping £11,250 for Willen Hospice by decorating their houses with Christmas lights. They’ve broken all their previous records and it brings the total collected since 2004 to £57,000. The lights went on 3rd December and were switched off on 31st December. Thousands of people across MK and the surrounding areas flocked to see the 13 houses which are all situated in one cul-de-sac in Great Linford. I’m so pleased to have been able to able to help promote it for them through this website and also my Facebook page. If you missed them this year then do watch the video below so you can get an idea of what they look like. If you want to make sure you don’t miss this year’s then put a note in your diary for the first Saturday in December – they’ll probably be switched on then.
