Today is the fourth day of Christmas. Here’s the final Christmas card from my recent winter vacation in the Cotswolds. This post was first published on The Travel Memoir.
A view of fresh powdered snow from the warmth of the dining room in the little cottage we stayed in during our winter vacation in the Cotswolds in the United Kingdom. This photo was taken with a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra smartphone.
It had not snowed in the Cotswolds for a few years now so it was a pleasant surprise to see the neighbourhood blanketed with snow when we woke up one evening.
As a result, we got to see a side of the Cotswolds not usually experienced by tourists – a winter wonderland of charming cottages nestled in a snowy landscape.

i Light Singapore is back in Singapore Marina Bay from 3 – 26 June after a hiatus of two years due to the pandemic. The highlight of this year’s light festival is a floating exhibit titled “Lightwave: Isle of Light, empowered by OPPO”.
“i Light Singapore’s focus on raising awareness of sustainability is aligned with OPPO’s mission of ‘technology for mankind, kindness for the world’. We are excited to be part of the Festival for the second time as it returns after a two-year hiatus,” said Dylan Yu, Marketing Director of OPPO Singapore.
The annual light festival is organised by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) of Singapore and presented by DBS Bank.
i Light Singapore 2022 is happening from 3 to 26 June, 7.30 to 11pm daily with extended hours to midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. Here’s Jason Chen, Festival Director, presenting an overview of i Light Singapore 2022.
This year’s festival sees 20 light installations from 14 countries, of which Oppo’s floating exhibit is the highlight.
Titled “Firefly Field”, this exhibit is by multidisciplinary design studio TOER of the Netherlands and is my personal favourite.
The exhibit comprises five zones which include holographic projections, illuminated motion-capture graphics and shadow play, as well as light beams that create a mystical forest, and a light art showcase.
