The nights drew in. A thick hoar frost became a regular morning caller, tracing icy fingers across paths and grasses, turning bared trees into glistening monoliths. Birdsong was muted and discordant; the more tuneful avian visitors had fled to warmer climes for the winter. The air was grey and biting, and all traces of colour were erased from the cold, hard earth.
It was just the right time of year for a celebration.

And indeed, I'd like to offer you all best wishes for the season, and for the coming new year. In particular, best wishes go to those who will be working over the festive break; and also to those who might find themselves alone for whatever reason. Enjoy the festivities, however you spend them and whatever your plans, keep safe (keep secret!), and most of all, enjoy the Doctor Who xmas special!
But watch out for Mr Black, and Mr White. Remember - the automata do not act as we do. They do not feel the bite of the cold.
And they walk amongst us...
;-)
