Kilwinning Christmas Lights Switch-On

It was a pleasure to meet 95-year old community activist Betty Kilpatrick, who switched on the Kilwinning Christmas lights last night.

Later I met Andrew Boyd, chef at The Home Bar, letting me sample some of his delicious chilli con carne, which in true festive spirit he was offering to passers-by.

It was a very chilly evening but the whole town was warmed with a carnival atmosphere and early Christmas cheer.
