Thanks for highlighting this one. I'll look out for it... but I have to say it was a bit of a shock to see something about Christmas...even if it is quite a chilly August.

PS I meant a shock because my brain had a brief panicked moment when I wondered what time of year it was... Also, since I am here again, thanks for lots of interesting links on the previous two posts...

Oh yes!!!

You're welcome, Helen.
Re. Christmas, I can say - though not at all smugly - that I have started my Christmas shopping! It wasn't deliberate in that I just happened to see something that would be perfect for someone and decided to buy it there and then, and I'm sure to be rushing to finish wrapping gifts late on Christmas Eve, but one down, many more to go.

It's a must, isn't it!

Posted by: Cornflower | 09 August 2017 at 03:32 PM

My initial reaction was - Oh gods, NO! But then I saw that it is Nigel, so of course, I am off to pre-order it. Thank you for letting me know.

Clever. He loves Christmas so this must have been a joy to wrrite and I should think will be a best seller. I wondered what he was going to do next. Thank you as ever, for the 'heads up'.

This is just the ticket today when our temperature here in Spokane is predicted to be 101 degrees (38 Celcius.)

You're welcome.

A bit more summer would be nice.

Posted by: Cornflower | 29 August 2017 at 04:05 PM

My pleasure.

Posted by: Cornflower | 29 August 2017 at 04:05 PM

It's a measly 14 degrees C/57 F here today, Mary!
