Its October and Santa Claus is Coming to Town , well according to the radio this morning he is and this was re confirmed when a customer rang this morning to check our returns policy for pressies purchased in advance for the festive season - now that's one well organised hubbie.

Much as I prefer not to be thinking about Xmas when the leaves are still firmly on the trees, clearly it is time to start. I'll have to dig out the recipe for our family Christmas pud and decide which of the kids has been good enough to get something more than ANOTHER pair of walking socks this year. Actually, I love Christmas, so roll on the merryment and some nice cold bouldering, perhaps even an ice climb for New Year, y'never know.

To help you celebrate we've extended the returns period for purchases so that if your recipient is ungrateful enough to want to swap the pressie you bought, we'll be more than happy to assist. Full details how to ensure your purchase qualifies are here: http://www.walkhigh.co.uk/acatalog/Buying_for_Christmas.html

So, Here's wishing you all a great time, even though it seems rediculously early to do it.
