Christmas - Bing Crosby style - seems to have arrived three weeks early. Gave up trying to get in to the shop today, apologies if anyone with an emergency requirement for cider or some Christmas shopping braved the drifts down Brogdale Road only to find we'd wimped out! So walked the dog the length of Tankerton promenade instead, dodging the sledges and teenagers on tin trays hurtling down the slopes between the beach huts at 40 mph to land in an icy heap on the beach. Then spent 2 hours 43 minutes watching '2012', a bit far-fetched but put 13cm of snow into perspective. |
