Getting into the Christmas spirit with Emma Richardson
A few weeks ago, I suddenly realised Christmas was coming! It’s weird to think I had been, fairly, unaware of the upcoming festive period! However, it's like I've learnt to create a filter in which I can, largely, ignore the commercialism and the culture which is trying to persuade me to part with my money. I rarely go to the bigger chain stores but if I visited in October or November I'd, pretty much, avert my eyes when passing the Christmas aisles. In fact all that sparkle practically hurt them! I realise I sound very "bah humbug" and I know by this point I am at risk of losing the lovers of Christmas amongst you.

'Fundraiser for 21-year-old Exmouth boy diagnosed with a stage 4 brain tumour'
Really good friends are often not found in the places you think; sometimes they appear at times in your life when you thought you’d made all the mates you were likely to have.
OPINION 'We have amply demonstrated that women’s sport is just as exciting as men’s'
It has been amazing over the last couple of weeks watching the England Women’s Football team progress so spectacularly through the World Cup.
