Here in all their grandeur.






Lunchtime. The mayors wife parks, engine still running, by the war memorial. She gets out, arranges her hair net , extracts a plastic carrier bag from the back seat and sets to work. Six minutes later it's all over. The 2012 village Christmas decorations are in place. The battered blue Renault without hubcaps drives off.

Mid-afternoon. We wander over to look at her handiwork . Even 'the font ' is hard put to find something positive to say. That old standby " at least she made an effort " .

  2. At least you will be spared the sorry spectacle of a d-list so-called celebrity coming to switch the lights on.

  9. when can the font run for mayor?
    talk about a stylish well run village!!!
    but then maybe angus would suffer. i can envision lots of 'meetings' where the requisite champagne would be 'expected.' come to think of it... i wouldn't wish any of that on the font! lol.

  11. Not exactly the bright lights but on the other hand you wouldn't want neon flashing Santas, would you? Maybe Mme Bay should be la Decoratrice Officiale next year...
