THERE HAS been no let-up in the December deluge we carry dramatic photos of the latest round of flooding to hit Courier Country and speak to the Perthshire woman who won’t let the rising waters spoil her plans for a traditional Christmas get-together.
We reveal statistics which show many local authorities are unaware of the number of wind turbines in their region, a situation which has raised the ire of one local politician who fears Scotland’s famed landscape is being ruined forever.
Courier readers will also be able to find out how troops serving in Afghanistan are gearing up for the festive season so far from home.
Prayers have been said for a Dundee priest kidnapped in the Congo. We hear from those desperate to trace Jean-Pierre Ndulani as fears grow for his safety.
We also reflect on a glorious weekend for fans of BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing – if you watched you were in good company as more than 12 million tuned in.
Meanwhile, time is running out for Christmas bargain hunters will you be among those rushing out to splash the cash on last-minute gifts? If so, it may be worth heeding the words of experts who predict those less organised shoppers who rush out to the high street today can expect to come away with a £190 hole in their pocket.
