![]() The relevant traders in Limavady have started to sell Christmas trees already, as this photograph vividly demonstrates.
Experienced observers will also notice that parking in the town is still a joy and that
citizens in possession of a very narrow sitting room are offered a wide choice of suitable trees -
witness the collection on the left of the picture.

![]() The new bridge is making progress. It is supposed to be ready for Christmas and it looks as if the builders are well on the way to meet this festive target.
Mind you, unless they do something about it pretty soon, it's going to be a tight squeeze
passing under that bridge. There is just about enough headroom for half a Santa and maybe
one small reindeer.

![]() The three old buildings beside Menary's in Market Street have been knocked down. They were not in the best state of repair, but yet another bit of old Limavady has disappeared forever.

That appalling caterwauling
The annual Audio Christmas torture has started again in the centre of town. Small loud speakers that produce a noise so tinny it defies description have been mounted all over the place. The arrangement is quite wicked and shows a lot of forethought:
Should the deafened visitor manage to hear the occasional rumbling from the distance - as he rushes from the centre of town to Lidls - where it is beautifully quiet - this can't be caused by the building work on the by-pass. It must be Danny boy turning in his grave. |
![]() Would you believe it - the new bridge is open, ready to roll over and practically finished. If you are one of those people who likes to travel to Aghanloo in a hurry you are in luck. If, on the other hand, you enjoyed the traffic lights and the curvaceous bypassing bypass -
bad luck, from now on you can only go straight.
