Bless Annie, poet laureate of the Derby Telegraph. Even her letters are poems.
Christmas is filling the shops already GONE are all the kids' summer treats, beach balls buckets and spades, out of all the supermarkets. Now it's Christmas shopping: toys, books, selection boxes, and much more, all piled up near the door, not far from where you walk in, to just catch your eye. It'll be Christmas cards and calendars soon, and so much more. All in our grocery stores. Annie Thompson
