The week of my birthday was hectic and very exciting as our new shed arrived on the wharf. This has been a long project (approx. a year) which started by us asking the council if we could put a building at the wharf where we usually traded with our trailer etc. On the 3rd Dec it arrived.
We moved in and started to get it set up to trade from.
We also hosted a couple of local journalists who were following the new cycle trail in the area. They did a special feature in the local newspaper and we got good publicity. I also did a video interview and it got posted on their website.
Our other new stuff is our new cycle kit. Bonnie wouldn't wear any for the photo but she agreed to have her photo taken.
The Christmas 'rush' in the shops is still low key by anyone's standards. The locals think the shops are so busy, but they are only a bit busier. A local town had an ad on radio declaring that Christmas opening hours would also include all the shops staying open on the Saturday before Christmas until 5pm!!! (They would mostly close at lunchtime on a Saturday).
We will enjoy a day off on the 25th and then hit a crazy few weeks on the wharf. Hopefully we will have good weather like last year.
A local church has life sized cut outs Joseph, Mary, donkey etc, with a sign up saying "The world needs a stable influence".
Season's greetings to all and a happy 2014.
