No snow, but plenty of frost. De-icing the car is a bit like painting the Forth Road Bridge, you think you've finished and then you have to start over.

My experience from last year tells me that the difference between having a parcel and it being 'Out for Delivery' is vast. There are no guarantees when it comes to courier companies at Christmas.
