Always a pleasure to watch Tom Hanks ply his trade. Impressive production values although the ending didn’t especially work for me.

Much better morning than anticipated. Reasonably good underfoot at #Royden and not too cold. Coffee at Benty’s where the grotto looks set to make an appearance. Last harlequin?
