    Things are definitely looking up at Cold Comfort Cottage. 
    The snow is melting.  The oil and logs have been delivered.  The last Christmas presents have also been delivered by previously snow-bound relations (yes - there was another scarf in there).  Our Hero has eaten not one, but two (very small) slices of lovingly hand-made cheese tart, accompanied by a mouthful of mashed carrots.

    Suddenly our principal characters are thrown off the cast of the homely, Saturday night drama, the put-on your-slippers-and-relax type, and find themselves in a very alternative ‘Hammer Horror.’

(Have you looked at recent research about very hot tea and oesophageal cancer?  But we will leave that just now.) And you might as well make it organic, green tea for those anti-oxidants. 
    Or, alternatively, bump up the ‘meds’ again.
