Christmas again! How would we spend it this year? I must make a list or I would panic and leave something out. To start with, I was wondering if the house looked presentable. If Martin’s elderly aunt saw it in its usual state, she might have a cardiac arrest. I searched for the musical snowman Gerry bought last year but failed to locate it. Never mind. Identical ones were usually in stock in garden centres in December, but then, I don’t go to a garden centre every day. The phone rang. Elaine answered it and came back looking belligerent. “Aunt Ethel wants to bring Oliver,” she said. Oliver was Aunt Ethel’s son and the black sheep of the family. “They’re coming in the car Oliver bought when he got his licence back,” said Elaine. “Well, we’d better not leave any alcohol lying around.” I’d never seen her this antagonistic. “And I hope he gives me something better than the “I love London” keyring I got two years ago.” 

Steventon Bridge update

For those that aren't aware, the closure of the Steventon Bridge is now on hold, until possible alternative solutions to avoid the long closure, is examined.
