Building numbers
This is a plea to all building owners (domestic and commercial) who do not have street numbers. Please put street numbers (clearly-visible) on your buildings/fences/walls, facing the street.
It's no fun traipsing along streets and roads - especially in bad weather - looking for a property. It must be a nightmare for the emergency services as well.
YOU know where you live; you may also know where number XY or Z are on a busy shopping street. But please don't assume everybody else does.
This is most important for the emergency services who are often called out at night.
It's a small, but important, thing. It's not difficult.

Worst Xmas ever?

Suellen’s sweet Christmas tradition
The festive season is always a great excuse to indulge your sweet tooth, and this time of year poses the perfect opportunity to bring a real showstopper to the Christmas table.
For Suellen’s family, that showstopper is Croquembouche, an impressive tower of cream puffs bound together with spun sugar that is popular at weddings in France and Italy.
What began as a birthday treat at a local French café has become a cherished Christmas tradition for Suellen and her 17-year-old twin granddaughters, Ellie and Sadie. Every year, the trio gather in Suellen’s apartment at William Sanders Village to cook this festive dessert - a holiday highlight they all treasure.
