Hobo's advent calendar 2008
December 11
A couple appeared at the top of the hill pushing a babybuggy. They were laughing, mucking about. I suspected that they were two happy first-time parents enjoying a walk in the autumn sunshine. A little family out and about. Dad's remembered the baby-bottle and extra diapers. Mum's wrapped up the little bundle of joy against the winter that's waiting to pounce from behind every garden bush.
