Greetings.......

Well December is finally upon us!...I am sat here surrounded by tinsel listening to christmas carols....My young helper Alan who lives in the village came dashing in after school last night and we set too and brought christmas to the shop, must say it does look good. Alan is a whizz with lights and has made sure all three sets of lights are up and in order...THANKYOU ALAN :-)
I have been doing legal things this week, for those of who who dont know I have a legal case which I am pursuing against the county council. Despite winning several months ago the council lodged an appeal and it is due to be heard very soon (12th of Dec) in london...So I have had my head in files all week....typing is difficult as Alan covered the keyboard in tinsel! HA HA very funny Alan!
A woman who grew up in the village has her picture in the Westmorland gazette today, she has been nominated for a teaching award and is off to london this weekend, its a lovely picture of her...
The museum (think that is the correct spelling?) where mum used to work before moving to the lakes has had a feature on mums rug classes on a bbc web site this week, it looks really nice and its nice to see the fab things made with rugging techniques, here is a link to the site...

I have taken a few snaps of the shop today, will take one as it gets dark later, Alans lights look fab lighting up the shop
Tonight there is a christmas festival in Hawkshead, am doing to pop along after work and might have a glass of mulled wine and some chestnuts....I believe it start about 4.30pm and is on all weekend...
Despite it being December today it is a really lovely blue sky day.....Hope it is where you are :-)
