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.
