The Great Christmas Knit Off
“A hearty rendition of ‘We Wish You a Merry Christmas’ is belting out and they’ve just got to the figgy pudding part as we pass Ruby’s shop and head along the High Street.
‘So, what brings you to Tindledale?’ Dr Darcy asks, still sounding like a doctor, and not a man who’s just asked me out for a drink. Hmm, maybe he’ll relax when we get to the pub.
‘I came to see Cher, the new pub landlady – we’re old friends. But I’m surprised you don’t already know that,’ I laugh to lighten the mood as I glan...ce at him sideways.
‘Ah, yes, it can be a bit like that in the village.’ He looks at me and laughs too. ‘It took me a while to get used to it when I first arrived in Tindledale to take over from old Dr Donnelly when he retired.’ ‘Was that very long ago?’ ‘Three years this Christmas, so I’m still very much considered a newcomer. I think you have to be here for at least fifty years before you can class yourself as a local.’ We both laugh some more.
