Winter is here, it’s time for a Christmas fair
I can't believe that I am preparing for the last Muswell Hill Creatives Christmas Fair for 2021. The weather forecast is a little dodgy, and I was doing a little good weather dance as I wrote this. It didn't work, and while wet weather won't keep us away, high winds...
