Terrifyingly, it is that time of year again … the first Christmas catalogue arrived a few days ago (thank you, R.H.S.), and yesterday I filled in my application form for a stall at the Mill Road Winter Fair in Cambridge, which this year happens on Saturday 7 December. I’ve written about this event before (twice), and this year, assuming I’m lucky enough to get a stall, I shall, as always, be raising money for EdUKaid, a wonderful charity which supports schools and their pupils in southern Tanzania.The mighty oath which I swore on 1 December last year, to knit at least two hedgehogs a week ongoingly, has so far more or less been fulfilled, and there will also be wreaths large and small,

stocking, robins, Christmas puddings,

mantelpiece and table runners,

scarves, blankets and much other Stuff.

So, please keep your fingers tightly crossed that I get a stall, and that the weather is reasonable. But even if it’s not, I’m hoping to be there – and hoping to see you too!
