Christmas lights still glowing I see more Christmas lights have ap- peared in the village, the tree in Gore Park is lit up again and the crossroads have a str- ing of fairy lights strung across them. It all adds up to the festive atmosphere that permeats the air at this time of year. Donations are still arriving for the Lions Christmas lights, I received one from L and M Laundry and Variety this week.
