Frankie said: “For years I have wanted to create a map that people can use to follow all the beautifully lit up houses in Kesgrave over the Christmas period. My parents each year go all out with decorating their house.
“This year I thought it was particularly important to spread some Christmas joy, whilst people get their daily exercise.”
