It all looks very nice Sandy. Unfortunately around here the council officially "forget" about old people. There is no such thich as a community christmas dinner for the old ones. Our local pub oganised a Christmas Dinner two weeks ago which was fantastic (see the post on my page). The local "Lions" (Charity organisation), the "Rotary Club" (Charity org for rich people!) and the "Salvation Army" come around collecting money for a Christmas bash for the older generation, but I never get an invite. In fact, I haven't met anyone who has even been to one of these Christmas Dinners! As to a Christmas parcel from the Mayor and Council? We stand more chance of being invited onto a Carribean Christmas cruise by Richard Branson that that!
