Happy New Year from us all. Not for us the gringing, whinging and minging that goes on so much: instead lets all tread boldly into the year, determined, even resolute to have fun, and good stuff.

Things could be bad, but aren’t like Zimbabwe:

Here we have Xanadu with great things in a great new window, and Spike cooking up a warm storm, with those cups of coffee to warm the cockles with. Andy & Christine in New Era have got a cavern full of antiques recently landed from la belle France, Love is aglow with top tots stuff, Bookers is doing it up, large, whilst Shaws are smartening the menfolk up.
Gasp. Have you noticed we are heading up the hill?
Skylon are packing new stuff in to replace the Xmas sales, Wayward has a whole new look of paintings and some seriously rerto magic cloth and beadwork. Dawgs is quietly barking at his treats as usual, happy little canine that he is, and The Hastings Antique Centre is a vortex of antiquery.

No-one is quite sure about the church, but if they are aliens inside they seem very nice aliens, so live and let live, eh?

Why is up the street in a January Sale, whilst Gensing Antiques is squirrelling away those fantastico artworks as Saatchi and Jerwood are threatening a bidding war. Playfords is winning the fight to make Sussex the sine qua non for beauty, Bung Ho is celebrating, again, and Patrick Robbins is yet again establishing new standards in oriental rugs.

St Clements has special January food, no, special January prices as the food is always special, and The Horse & Groom continues a genial and bibulous mine hostery.

So. See you soon.

So what else comes from the Middle East and is synonymous with transport? And is not black and greasy and lives underground, not oil?

Ta da! Exactly! Carpets. Oriental carpets and rugs. As available in Norman Road from Patrick Robbins Interiors, base of Orientalrugsonline.co.uk

One of Europe’s more detailed and comprehensive sources of extremely fine rugs, as represented on the website, and in the Bricks & Mortar establishment, Patrick Robbins Interiors.

And here is the cheesy picture showing that magic carpets really exist:
