From the B&R

Hay news is all over the front page of the Brecon and Radnor this week.

The ex-assistant manager of Chattels has been sentenced for theft and given a suspended sentence, and, just a little late, the winner of the Christmas Window Display competition is featured, with a nice picture of Anne Brichto recieving the certificate for the window of Addyman's Annexe.

The lady at the paper shop was dispensing gloom and despondancy this morning when I picked the paper up. "You know about the winter of 1947?" she asked. "It got really cold about the end of January and didn't get warm again till April. Well, that's what's going to happen this year - they're saying the temperature will go down to -15C."
I'm sure she's got some Marshwiggle in her ancestry.*

*From CS Lewis's The Silver Chair - a race that was only really happy when they were being miserable.
