On my list I included Gareth Malone’s/ Military Wives Christmas Song and the current John Lewis ad where the cute little boy can’t wait for Christmas morning to GIVE not receive his gift.

I actually teared up just remembering his sweet little face until my friend took a slug of her wine and said “I bet it’s his little sister’s severed head in that box.”

The big news is that today at 12.45pm Gareth was sitting outside Kings College London eating a sandwich !!!!!!

I have texted  her back IN CAPITALS demanding to know what sandwich filling Gareth had chosen, and was it shop bought or had he made his own and wrapped them in foil ?  Stay tuned  and I will let you know. ‘Tuned’, that’s a musical outro and a small tribute to  gorgeous, firm but fair Gareth.
