A few suggestions for Christmas presents this week … You may, of course, be a super-organised person who bought all their presents before Michaelmas but if, like me, you have held off in the hope of late inspiration, there’s still time! For our Christmas treats, the last recommended postal date for a Christmas delivery is …
