As I was stood on the platform at the train station this morning, shielding myself from the bitterly cold wind & driving snow.
I suddenly remember a line from one of my beloved childhood Christmas stories by Dylan Thomas, A Child's Christmas in Wales. The snippet that rekindled the memory was at the beginning, when the lead character references it "snowed for 6 days & 7 nights, or 7 nights & 6 days".
As Christmas stories go, this is a archetypal traditional Childhood story of little town life in mid 20th century Britain, or Wales for that matter.
A heartwarming tale of times gone by that will be loved by adults & children alike, especially the audio version - with a gentle comforting tones. Ideal as a present this Christmas!
