Oooooh i've been in that shop! I still have some decorations i bought there a few years back.

Bethni. I go every year, we always have one of  our holidays in the Cotswolds. There is a very expensive christmas shop in Stratford upon Avon as well, fantastic ornaments, but very pricey. It is just across from Will Shakespeares birthplace.

This!  

 

I'm really excited to start Christmas shopping this year (as I am every year probably )!

 

I could get Chrissy lights for my new garden!  

I put lights on my cherry tree last year, and I've never took them down.  I even put them back on when the tree was in blossom. I might put them on tonight.

It's not really festive as it's September and the beginning of Autumn.  The only thing I can think of that's 'festive' for this time of year is harvest festival stuff.

 

When I was a little boy at primary school at this time of year, there was a thing for children (to get their parents) to donate foodstuffs for the less fortunate.   Other than that, corn dollies perhaps?

Yes, you're right. It's nearly that time I dived to the back of my pantry and donated those stray tins of kidney beans and packets of Matzos, that lingered 4 years after the Passover I got them for, to go to a better...more grateful home.

 

My God, if my children were already talking about Christmas I'd be mental and they'd be ...well muted.

I love Burford Joe.


It's great isn't it. I love that area. I'm interested in the Levellers and the battle for hegemony within the Parliamentarians, so obviously the church is a bit  of a magnet, although I was quite surprised to see such a happy clappy service taking place.

Just up the road is Mitford country and I am fascinated by them too. There is a cavery in a converted barn which once belonged to the family and there was quite an amusing piece of leterature hung up in the entrance hall.
