The Christmas Post

Around about this time last year, we ventured to say that it would probably be the last time we wished our readers the compliments of the season.  We figured that, by now, the new houses would be all be built and maybe even occupied.  How wrong can you be?  The building work continues.  Sort of.  Nothing seems to have happened on the site for the past three weeks and there still seems a lot to do.

However, according to the parish newsletter, three of the properties have been sold and the buyers are due to move in "by the first week in December".  The newsletter adds that the site is to be known as Dragon Court.

This year, we've decided not to post our usual "Christmas Card" at the top of the Blog as we feel now is the time to move on by which we mean simply looking forward rather than backward.  As one of our very sensible neighbours has pointed out, when the new people do move in they will become part of the Rough Close community.

Nevertheless we wish everyone a very merry Christmas and, you never know, we might still be here this time next year!  All the very best.
