If I am honest I am not really in a Christmassy mood at all…

To many complications, I would like to delay it for a couple of months

I haven’t started yet. I’m meant to meet someone in Leeds City centre on Saturday and I may gain some inspiration to buy from that trip. Tickets arrived for a charter rail trip to Lincoln Christmas market for the following friday.

The local shops don’t give any advantage over online. This show provided very little that I could purchase online or in my local shop.

There were a few special stalls. The show used to be mostly special stalls.

I suppose the problem with the economy has made it non-viable for those small self sustaining companies that provide unique and interesting items.

The memories of my Dad will sustain me always. In some ways we are one and the same, although we are quite different.

There is more to be said on that thought, but I will leave it there

Nor me… I did manage to get one Christmas present whilst I was there. I was hoping for more!

Unfortunately – for local shops – online seems to be the way forward. Most of my shopping seems to be done either online or in Sainsburys!

Those memories of fathers and the like do keep us going at times.

Ach I have done absolutely nothing for Xmas this year.
