in the hope of Yuletide celebrations going to plan.
But whether commiserations or congratulations, you can immerse
yourself in this festive feast, soaring high with Maureen Jivani at Two Minutes
to 13, never worrying about The Weight of Light (KB Ballentine)
or Richard Lister and his Riddle from the sands, while making the most of
Beth Booth’s Swooping Season. As for Xxxx shopping, an apology from
David Lukens: Why I can’t tell you the way to Tesco, but not a problem
because, At the end of the day (Kathryn MacDonald), you could easily
pick up something colourful in Cerulean, like Luke Morgan or
an absolute bargain at Helen Overell’s Point of sale in the Charity Shop,
and enjoy a tale about Gretel and the woodcutter from Simon Leonard.
In fact, there’s sure to be something in this issue for everybody to enjoy
