The Silly Season!

I've been busy all last week and over the weekend and though I've thought about sitting down to write something I haven't got round to it - must try harder!  The spur today has been something I picked up via twitter. The famous toy store in London, Hamleys has decided to use live Reindeer and Penguins as part of a Christmas display. Amazing what unadulterated greed will do isn't it? How can they possibly think this is a right thing to do? If I wasn't in deepest Devon I'd be picketing the store - I do hope some people picket/complain/write angry letters/blog/tweet - anything to get this stopped. The Silly Season indeed, though I think that's a bit of a kind description for this sort of lunacy.

Fenced in.
