The back garden made of snow.
There are nice things about going home to my little village for Christmas. Not only sozzled parents but also a big snowy untouched back garden.

And then it rained, and got dark. So I threw a bucket of water over it hoping it might turn into ice, and we went inside for tea.
The music is by ‘Christmas Song’ by The Hornblower Bros (a local Brighton band who I need to write about at some point) poached unashamedly from Jonathan.
