Most of the fashion houses have already shot their Christmas catalogue and website portfolios. Over the past few weeks, country houses all around have been festooned with Christmas trees, fairy lights, roaring log fires, fake snow, and models in wooly jumpers, trying not to sweat too much.

No been members for years, wasn't really surprised but I expected festive stock to start appearing next month. A friend of my daughter has all her gifts bought
and wrapped! It's easy to go off some people! ;-)
