In the centre of Melksham, you'll find an illuminated sign saying "Melksham at Christmas" and another pointing you to Longford Road - a street of fairly typical 1950s or 1960s houses about half a mile away. Let's see what we find at Longford Road ...

Here's a daytime picture taken just the other day - looks like there's something on that roof.

By night, though, the houses of Longforr Road are awash with Christmas lights and you discover that Melksham *is* Christmas!

We have finished training now - for Christmas, for the year, for the decade ... and we'll resume in the New Year. It's a chance to regroup, to catch up with family and friends, to catch up with web site and work that's overdue. And we'll be welcoming guests at Well House Manor into our circle of friends over the next few weeks - we even have a checkin booked for 25th December. The "Horse's Mouth" will carry on, and I've meant it through the year when I've said "I'll answer emails 24 by 7" - which means I'll answer you emails within 24 hours, 7 days a week ... and yes, that includes Christmas day.
