As we all begin to pack up Christmas the ‘Back to Work Blues’ seem to be lurking, but why not escape the chaos by planning a weekend break? Colchester is buzzing with January sales and as our town centre is brimming with new shops, there are plenty of bargains to be had before the season is out.

With the arrival of winter comes the promise of beautiful winter sunsets and our garden is overflowing with birds on the many feeders. We now have two familiar pheasants  popping round daily, allowing for many wonderful photographic opportunities.

With Halloween approaching now seems to be the perfect time to plan that ‘Holiday Retreat’, although we are a little out of the way so do not get the traditional ‘Trick or Treat’ knock on the door.

As the pantomime season begins to blossom why not visit the Mercury Theatre? From ‘The Winter’s Tale’ to ‘Beauty and the Beast’ there is something for everyone. Visit www.mercurytheatre.co.uk for more information on productions and dates.
