Christmas Lights at the Kings Arms Burton

A little bird tells us that the Kings Arms Christmas decorations and lights are going to be spectacular this year. It may cause a spike in the National Grid's power drain when they switch on, but surely they will cheer everyone up and bring a smile to even the more dour of faces these cold December days and nights?

We will send our undercover photographer to get some pictures (we may have to dress him as an elf to blend in, but what the heck!) - but if you can't wait, why not pop along and see for yourself?

Feelgood factor

Today we've been out delivering the village magazines to the volunteer distributors who pop each copy through letterboxes all over the village. (Not our normal job, we were standing in for the distro manager who was on hols.) It's a great system and means almost every house in the village gets a free copy every month - a real team effort. The sun was beating down on us again - nice after the clouds and rain of yesterday - and everyone we met had a big smile on their face. It seems the feelgood factor from winning in the Jubilee People's Millions vote last week is still high, and the win seems to have put a bit of bounce in the step of everyone we met!
