Einstein had it right when he reflected that ‘time is an illusion’ so a combination of switching on Christmas lights and celebrating fireworks night at the same time seems, if one can say it, perfect timing. Soham once again leads the field in Cambridgeshire with its annual ‘Christmas House’ extravaganza and last night’s switch on was timed to coincide with a fireworks display hours two and a quarter hours later at Soham Town Rangers Football Club.
