I was so organised in December preparing my news rant in advance, then forgot to publish it after too much Christmas Sherry.  Sorry for the wait here it is.

This weeks podcast is about things that you can do with your partner, obviously there is the usual banter by myself which has nothing to do with the actual podcast and I sing at the end as well.  For any James Blunt fans out there, yes you guessed it I am a little off key!  

Christmas can be a lonely time though, so you can do quite a few of these things on your own or with your dog, you don't need to be part of a couple. 

And Christmas is just one day, you don't have to enjoy yourself or feel great or spend a ridiculous amount of money on presents.  Its about Christmas lights, brightening your house and bringing light into it during the cold dark winter. If you want to leave them up until March, go for it, who says you have to take them down on the twelfth night!  Its about remembering those who are no longer with us, remembering the ghosts of the past, letting go, focusing on the future and the here and now. That like Scrooge you can change who you are and your behaviour. People can go and buy their own stuff, but spending time with people is something that you can't ever get back.  When you are sitting in a nursing home looking at memories you won't ever think I wish I had been bought more stuff.  You will be trying to cling onto the memories of the past, the fun, the laughter and most importantly of all the love.

Welcome to this months news rant, I am not too ranty this month, the Christmas spirt it has clearly kicked in.  I have recorded this one a week early though, so if the end of the world happened, if Jesus returned or any other significant event then I will have missed it and it will be in Decembers podcast.

People are facing financial challenges this year, so instead of breaking the bank trying to buy everyone a Christmas gift, why not make something instead.  I come up with a few different Christmas gift ideas that won't break the bank and that you can make yourself.  This way you can tailor gifts to the person that they are for and get them something that they will actually use.  

Remember Christmas is a time to be spent with family friends and loved ones, time is the gift not just buying an expensive present.

As this weeks podcast is the day after Halloween, its a ghostly topic, its about Chester Ghosts, Chester being the most haunted city in the UK per square foot.  

The tour is really interesting Mr Bumble and I headed off on it and its great value at £10 per person.  

Have a listen to the podcast to hear about some of Chester's most famous ghosts, one of whom Sarah even made the local paper.
