One item from the usual pile of junk mail on my doormat this morning suddenly caught my eye, and I looked out of the window just to check that the sun was shining, the leaves were still on the trees, and some people were going about their business dressed, as I was, in shorts and T shirt. I stepped out of the door. It was a fine warm August day with not a cloud in the sky, and yet this had appeared …
Usually I don’t go into “Bah ! Humbug !” mode until early October when I get to Sainsbury’s and find that the shelf stackers have been working hard filling the aisles with fancy packs of mince pies, giant tins of ‘Quality Street’, large pots of Stilton cheese, and all the other festive season ‘goodies’, but this year my little rant has come early. I wonder how long it will be before my local pub restaurant puts out the sign …
… “Book early for Christmas” ?
