Have you ever made a remark that you just can’t shake off? Yesterday John and I were mending a broken fence in the snow when I happened to say: “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!” Having completed the task we attached the snowplough to the JCB and still I couldn’t shift Johnny Mathis and Home Alone 2 from my mind…

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
Everywhere is snow,
Take a look at the flashing lights,
Gritting through the nights,
With little lanes and window panes aglow!
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
Snowploughs everywhere roam,
But the prettiest sound to hear,
Is when the BBC say ‘all clear!”
And we can all……go home!
