Show Notes
In the bleak midwinter, Frosty wind made moan. Earth stood hard as iron, Water like a stone. I wonder what Christina Rossetti would have made of the state of the world today if she had been able to see it. Earth may not be stood hard as iron, but it is certainly at something of a standstill. With the wave of of Omicron variant, travel at this time of year has become very tricky indeed. So, will it return any time soon?
