Well, here I am again at Knebworth House for the first of this season’s “branded” Christmas fairs. It may be cold and frosty outside but it is still only just November and it all seems a bit early. Anyway, I’m doing my bit to try and get in the mood – I’ve ditched my purple table coverings for a festive red!

I’ve also done a little bit to counter the commercialism. It may mean something to some and bring a smile to others. Hopefully it will also provoke a few deeper thoughts.
