We'd had to park a long way away (for free!) so it was a struggle dragging back; it was rainy and cold and a leedle bit miserable.
Sigh!
And then we turned into the side road where I'd parked and the road seemed to go on forever.
When I got to my car I found that it was parked by a house where the owner had put a cover up over his front drive....he had lights too. Meanwhile, he was in his garage working furiously; filing metal on a vice, grinding.
As we got nearer, we realised......he was making a sled for Santa Claus!
I asked him and he admitted it, no really!
Who knew that Santa's little helper lives in Egham, Surrey?
Obviously, there is a little problem here - we don't often get snow at Christmas, so it's got wheels instead.
Whatever, it's nice.
Christmas is coming.
