A wet end to November...

There are several things to talk about this month.  Those of you who are regular readers, I’m not sure that there is more than one, so a huge hello to you, will know that I try to blog monthly, perhaps I should also send it out as an attachment? 

Firstly, I’m not a big Christmas fan, I think I’ve mentioned that before, but I’ve just become hugely inspired by a site I’ve stumbled across on the web, http://www.timeout.com/london/christmas/features/3868/Christmas_shopping_guide.html its really well put together and constructed and makes it seem like London is a real community, spread over a huge area, which I think is an interesting thought in itself.  But its shopping remit is fantastic, where to go, at what times, to get what, even down to which streets have what lights.  It’s amazing to note the diversity from eco friendly bits of coloured metal, to funky retro balls sponsored by Nokia, it’s a really inspiring to see how different areas are approaching the Yule time season.  Perhaps next year Bodmin could think of some different approaches to Christmas lights, due to the extreme lack of help and interest in its (non existent) lights this year.  I’m off to

London for a few days next week so I will let you know how it all looks.  Plus I won’t be able to resist the draw of the winter wonderland set up in Hyde Park…..

… On a more local note the Totally Truro bid manager Neil has sent me a copy of

Truro's Christmas offer and it all looks really good, check it out, the PDF is attached. 

On a more, somewhat somber note, it’s with regret that I attended the funeral of David Lang, the Falmouth Town Centre Manager, recently.  David was one life’s little gems, and he will be sorely missed by lots of people, his input and enthusiasm for the retail development in Cornwall, and his determination and work in Falmouth will not be readily forgotten.  I will remember him best, for his love of eating cake, his incessant dislike of seagulls, or at least their mess, and his impeccable manners….
