It's that time again. What shall we talk about? My grandmother back in the 1950s eating a chicken carcass covered in flies? A bowl of dripping with files all over it? No, no... Let's talk about deliberate mistakes, seagulls eating your sandwich on the seafront, the New Year, spring time and loads of other nice things.
Between Christmas and the New Year. Christmas is over. We've done Christmas Eve, Christmas day, Boxing Day... Now, we only have the New Year to see in. And then, it's time to look forward to the spring! 
Happy Christmas 2025
