Just got back from my favourite Christmas decoration store,
The Tree Barn in Christmas Common. Yeah, it sounds corny and an obviously fake place-name, but it's not - the hamlet is actually called Christmas Common! The Tree Barn has all sorts of lovely decorations - some traditional British ones, but also imports from Europe and America. Ok, Christmas decorations are ultimately tat, but this place has the highest-quality tat around! I love it!
It's still mid-November, so they haven't completed updating their stock for this season and we didn't go there to buy decorations yet - but I came home with a kazoo :P
In other news, I got linked to this video. Pedestrianising city-centres is something that's taken more and more seriously! You can see it
