Is it really Christmas already!?!?

Before my workshop started at FernHowe, I took a walk through Keswick - and saw the cherry pickers in town, putting up the Christmas decorations. It seemed a bit early, but then I remembered, they never switch them on until sometime in December - I just can't believe how quickly this yer's gone. 

On a photographic note, I did try to position myself so the arm of the cherry picker fitted in with the buildings as well as possible.
