For Scotland, 2011 data is shown (update coming soon, the Scottish census was delayed by a year unlike the rest of the UK). Every time I read a new book by Sue Moorcroft I think, this is the best book she has written! It was the same after finishing A White Christmas on Winter Street.’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So, if you like a Christmas read with a strong storyline but still full of everything festive and fun, put on your Christmas pj’s and settle in for a cosy feel good festive read. Needless to say, I found this first installment of Elin Hilderbrand's Winter series to be flat out entertaining, but I can't dismiss the palpable emotion that popped up unexpectedly. Lots of characters with both individual and connected crises, but I could handle it...and I'm ready for more! On to the next!

apos;Record of Municipal Affairs in Sheffield 1843 to 1893& apos;, by JM Furness, 1893 (Sheffield Archives LOCAL FUR) A White Christmas on Winter Street is now one of my favourite holiday reads and one I will return to over the years. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys holiday reads. Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas and the holiday season just as much as everyone else who loves Christmas and the holiday season. I have just never been all that in love with all the holiday novellas and Hallmark movies which accompany it all. In October 1974 Trent Regional Health Authority put the upgrading of Winter St Hospital out to tender; during which works the patients were moved out elsewhere. On 10 December 1975 it was recommended that the proposal to rename the reopened hospital & apos; St George& apos;s Hospital& apos; be passed to Sheffield Area Health Health Authority. Kelley Quinn ist 62 Jahre alt, Vater von vier inzwischen erwachsenen Kindern und Inhaber einer Pension. Eigentlich ist er zufrieden mit seinem Leben, doch dann erwischt er ausgerechnet am Weihnachtstag seine Frau Mitzi in einer eindeutigen Situation mit einem anderen Mann. Kelley ist fassungslos, doch auch seine Kinder haben ihre eigenen Probleme. Was wird nun aus dem Weihnachtsfest?The tale that unfolds in Winter Street is not your typical holiday story, but takes us into the lives of this close-knit family as Hilderbrand shares a not so perfect Christmas. Delivered from each of the Quinn’s perspective we follow each of the stories as we move through the holiday, discover truths, and band together. Quirky, heart-felt, and genuine I enjoyed learning about this family. Despite the fact that the plot centers on a series of surprises, the surprises are not always that surprising, especially for anyone familiar with holiday programming on Lifetime. For the most part, the story follows the traditional pattern of stories about families and holiday obstacles. apos;Hospital Survey: Sheffield and East Midlands area& apos;, Ministry of Health, 1945 (Sheffield Local Studies 362 SQ) As a character 39 year old Sky Terran has had a troubled upbringing, and, estranged from her mother for many years, considers herself to have no family except her foster brother Freddy, who she met when they were both fostered in Middledip in their teenage years. Working with Freddy in property development, situations at work come to an impasse where Sky resigns and ends up living in Middledip again. And then he sees Mitzi kissing Santa Claus. Mitzi is his second wife; Santa is actually George, the man who’s been playing Santa for their party for years.

I found this story quite emotional at times, with the histories and issues with the characters, it’s a hard heart that wouldn’t be moved by this story. I loved the end so much, absolutely beautiful, my mushy and soft self loved how heart-warming it was. But I guess you’ll have to buy a copy (or borrow from your local library) to find out how beautiful this gorgeous Christmas tale is , you won’t regret it.

It’s not long before the locals are making themselves known and either enticing Sky to the local pub, or dictating what she should do to prepare for the annual street decorating competition. Whilst Sky may seem quite closed off she’s not shy about expressing herself and the way she handled the decoration committee had me grinning from ear to ear. She was firm without being rude and made it clear that she would do it her way and in her own time. The nature touches that were introduced in the story were lovely and once again showed how the simplest of activities can be the most enjoyable.
