BUSY BUSY

Well it's the first of December and the village shop is getting busy!

The children from the village are coming in to start getting things for Christmas.

Belle and Magda are discussing what they need to get first, Belle says Christmas cards but Magda says theres loads of time for cards and wants to get some sweet!.

James is over with Bruno talking about what Granny plans on getting in to sell as James is after a very special present for someone.

Meanwhile Callie's at the counter chatting to Granny.

finally Belle and Magda settle on buying some cards and some sweets! Belle says " excuse me can I just get to the cards ? "


"Of course " says James " I'll check back later with Granny " he tells Bruno.

James goes to look at the new items on the shelves while Callie is still chatting to Granny about old Mrs Proctor the vicars wife and her bad leg.

James loves the toy soldiers that Granny's selling, maybe he'll ask for one in his letter to Santa.

Now Belle's agreed to buy some sweets as well as some cards Magda cannot decide what sweets she wants to get!

Finally Granny and Callie have stopped discussing everyone in the villages ailments and Callie is giving Granny Mum's shopping list for the weekend.

Bruno, whose just come in from putting some things away in the shed.. I mean storeroom... looks on in wonder at just how much his Granny can talk! Why he hardly says anything! If there was a gold medal for gossip he's sure his Gran would have a dozen!
