Santa's 4x4 Sleigh...

Given the road conditions nowadays you can understand that Santa might feel nervous about landing his sleigh in a pothole - or worse, losing a reindeer in one! So Santa has taken to a 4x4...

The bell he was ringing sounded suspiciously like the school bell they sound at the end of playtimes... He drove around all the various estates in the village, chased after by parents and children who may not have been quick enough as he passed their houses.

In other news it looks like someone's been nicking vehicle licence plates... several comments locally about falling victim to theft. No doubt they'll be put to use elsewhere. Driving into Bristol's clean air zone for Christmas shopping, maybe.
