This week it’s all that glitters in the centres as we get our Christmas decorations and gift stock ready for sale. Just as last year, we have a team of Christmas elves visiting each centre over the next few weeks to make some beautiful, inspirational and very shiny displays to get us all into the festive spirit. With this colder and wet weather we’re having we’re enjoying the cheer it brings.

Its scary how quickly the nights are drawing in now so I’m making the most of the daylight hours at the weekends to complete some jobs in the Garden. I’ve got all of my new borders mulched with a good thick layer of well rotted manure so that the worms can work it in for me over the winter and the veg I planted in July is doing really well. I’ve had my first few leaves of chard and lettuce and it won’t be long before the beetroot is ready either. The new lawn has taken really well, this week-end I’ll give it its Autumn dressing to strengthen the roots for the winter - at least I won’t have to worry about watering it this week!
