The present wrapping service did not do quite as well as last year – but then it was raining hard and paper gets soggy.
In the gazebo next door, free mulled wine and mince pies were doing better, thanks to one of our local estate agents.
After ten months of building work at the Abbey Shopping Centre, all the scaffolding is down now. The contractor has been working weekends and evenings in the last couple of months on what looked like a demanding project. The area looks much better and two larger shops have replaced five smaller premises.
Work now stops for Christmas. I look forward to what next year brings.
Ahem, Davis Tate aren’t really local. They’re owned by LSLi which effectively means that you aren’t dealing with a local agent but a national PLC.

At least Hodsons really are local!
Their mulled wine was jolly tasty and warming though as I was doing my shopping on a rather we Saturday.
Thank you 🙂
