Ho, ho, holy heck it's lovely and quiet out there. I used to work nights, living near the M25, and was often awake at weird o'clock on Christmas Day. Sometimes, at around 4am, I could open a window and hear... absolutely nothing! But never for very long. It was glorious.
Enjoy the break if you get one, thank you very much to those who don't, and good luck for 2021, everyone.
Stillness is descending,
The world is slowing down,
It's the one day of the year,
When a gentler pace is found.
In this pause we rediscover,
Childhood wonder felt by all,
Noses pressed to frozen glass,
Hoping Santa Claus will call!
