It comes around so quickly, doesn’t it?
It doesn’t seem like five minutes since we were polishing off the last of the turkey and singing our way through a spirited performance of Auld Lang Syne, and yet here we are again. The Christmas tree is going up in the reception area of our five-star hotel in Scotland, traditional yuletide carols ring out wherever we go, and as we look outside, we can see the first of the snow falling gently across the majestic Schiehallion Mountain.
