Thought for today:
"As my hobby is history and antiquities, I have surrounded myself with a number of strange and valuable things over the years. Like many television viewers, I am a regular watcher of 'The Antique Road Show' and the many other similar programmes which daily pervade our screens. If however the house was to catch fire and I could only save one set of objects, it would be a breakfast set of 'The Snowman' which I bought for my children when they were very young and which I proudly retain in my china cabinet. The set would only come out at Christmas and the children would love to eat their breakfast from it. Each would take it in turn to wind up the musical figure of 'The Snowman' and there would never be a Christmas evening when we didn't sit in front of the television to watch 'The Snowman'. However old I become, I do not think I shall ever hear a more haunting yet uplifting tune than 'I'm walking in the Air' and I still watch it whenever I can. Happy Christmas everyone. xxx" William Forde: December 20th, 2014.http://youtu.be/xb-pX7sIjFY
