It is that time of year again folks when thoughts turn to Christmas ideas.

This week I saw some delightful, original christmas tree decorations which you can decorate yourself, use as party games, competitions or just to fill in the time between courses at festive parties. They are available to order at 40pence each from the receptionists at Thurso Community Health Centre on Davidsons Lane. The mini trees are lovely as they are three dimentional.

As ever there is fund raising going on for Malawi and there is a competition available for £1

In the run up to Christmas donations for making Christmas hampers for the raffle are always welcome, especially long dated items for folks who live alone. Gift sets are also much welcomed and the funds raised all stay within Caithness projects.
