Day 275: Hope Christmas Gets You To Me, Lapwing

Well it’s the beginning of Christmas week so I thought I would start with this little song. I have a good friend who helped me when I was writing my book The Wormwood Deception and his son has released this very pretty tune for Christmas. I think a lot of people will be able to relate to its sentiment especially given that as I write these words, we have just learned in the UK that a new tier 4 has now been introduced for some areas of London — meaning that folk in those areas now must cancel their Christmas plans. Even more shocking given that London was in tier two up to a few days ago, although this classification was more for political rather than scientific reasons.
