00:00How is it being the town crier for Hazelmere? Well, how is it? How is it? Yeah, how is it?

00:06It's going well, thank you very much. I've done this now for 14 years. Yeah. So yeah,

00:09this is one of my highlights of the year, the Christmas market. It's been raining this morning,

00:13but it's dried up now. It's great to see people in Hazelmere enjoying themselves,

00:17going around all the stores, great atmosphere. And of course, there's a plethora of stuff to do

00:21over the festive period here in Hazelmere. And do you think, has the rain daunted anyone from

00:27coming? No, they're quite hardy around here. They came in the morning and everybody's coming out

00:31now. So that's fantastic. And I think the traders are appreciating what's going on. Of course,
