A busy time of the year for "Postman Pat!"

With temperatures nudging 16 degrees it seemed more like a spring walk on Cleeve Common than a pre Christmas one today.   

The post van is delivering to the surprisingly large number of secluded settlements nestling below the crags on Cleeve Hill. 

In the distance Prestbury Park Race Course can be seen - all ready for its New Year's Day meet.

Lovely to have more  special time with our little ones today! They are getting very excited and a little bit confused about all those Father Christmases that seem to be everywhere at the moment!
