It might be a bluer Christmas than usual, but Elaine Bright still has a holiday cheer

‘Christmas time is coming, the geese are getting fat – and they are not alone.’

Christmas time is coming, the geese are getting fat – and they are not alone. I am finding even my ‘work from home’ casuals are snug. I can’t put a penny in the old man’s hat since I haven’t seen the Euston Road for six months. A summer ago, I did give a young man on the street a sandwich and a bottle of water. He was young, same age as my youngest son. I wasn’t sure what he liked, so I picked a sandwich at random. He chased me up the road shouting ‘Will this kill me?’. Turns out he was allergic to onions!
