They said there’ll be snow at Christmas
They said there’ll be peace on Earth
But instead it just kept on raining
A veil of tears for the Virgin birth
There’s not much connection between this time of year and the pic above, other than the seemingly incessant rain that blights so many otherwise promising days in this lovely country of ours. Although taken in summer (July 1975, Taunton), it’s arguably more typical of December than the archetypal snow scene.
Anyway, it’s one of my favourite shots of one of my favourite locos, with some lyrics from my favourite Christmas song; I hope it serves as an appropriate greeting to all those who have read, commented on or otherwise supported ‘Windcutter’ in the past year, with my best wishes for the New Year.
