By now we must all be aware of the panic-buying of fuel since we were warned of the closure of some petrol stations. It seems there’s no shortage of fuel, just the drivers who deliver it. Hopefully there will be a resolution quickly. Did you read, earlier this week, that the John Lewis Partnership is planning to lease ships to ensure delivery of all our Christmas essentials? This presents all sorts of questions – where from and where to spring to mind straight away. Essentials ? Are those all the shiny baubles that come from foreign lands? I don’t know about you, but there seem to be plenty of those in our loft, no need for more. Maybe it’s all the toys that children apparently need. Hmm, not sure about those either. Well we will see what is missing as the weeks roll by and Christmas approaches. One thing is for sure, Christmas will come whether we have baubles or not, so let’s make the best of it and remember what we are really celebrating.

Surely many of us have reassessed what is essential during Covid and to be honest paying a penny or two more to have locally produced seems a good way forward, supporting local businesses and cutting food miles etc. Judging by the number of big ships in the port I think there will not be shortages except in delivery drivers but schemes are afoot to remedy that. I enjoy a home made Christmas and working on new creations for the table etc! Fun in the planning as well the prep don’t you think Mrs C? And remembering how good it is just to have family round the table- blow the presents and sparkle! That I missed most last year.
