‘To summarise, Poppy Walton, you can tell Mum that a new sledge will
definitely come in handy tomorrow afternoon. Maura Kelly, I’d hold off on
booking those ferry tickets home, you’ll be struggling to reach Holyhead by
Christmas Eve. And for everyone who’s asked, I’m not a betting woman, but
even I’d be tempted to stake my stocking on the snow lasting until Christmas.
So, get your shovels ready, allow extra time on the roads and keep an eye out
for each other. I’m heading home for the holidays until the twenty-ninth, but
you’ll be in Summer Collins’ capable hands until then. This is Bea
Armstrong wishing you all a magical, merry Christmas.’
I kept my smile in place for those awkward few seconds until the camera
cut, at which point my forehead immediately furrowed at the reminder that
I’d be spending Christmas with my family. Don’t get me wrong, I love
Christmas. I love my family more than life itself. But combine the two
together and, well, let’s just say that I’d be packing my migraine medication.
As I approached my desk a few minutes later, the phone began ringing
right on cue.
‘Mrs Lewinski,’ Sondra, the receptionist, said in the exact same drone she
used every day at six forty-five.
‘Mrs L,’ I chirruped. ‘What can I do for you?’
‘Good evening, Bea,’ the reedy voice rasped. ‘A lovely broadcast as
always. However, I’m a little concerned about my parsnips…’
Today it was her vegetables, yesterday it was whether she needed to ask
the ‘nice young man’ next door to de-ice the garden path. Mrs Lewinski
phoned the television studio most days at six forty-five on the dot and asked
for her own personal weather report. I was happy to give it to her. Not just
because part of my presenting style included answering individual questions
from the viewers at the end of each broadcast, or because I knew I might well
have been the only person she’d spoken to all day. But also because the
weather was quite simply my obsession, and I would willingly talk about it in
great detail to anyone who’d listen.
As soon as I’d ended the call, another one came through. Walter
Pirbright.
‘You got it wrong again.’
I paused, the phone tucked under my chin so I could pack up my things at
the same time. ‘Oh?’ Walter was a local farmer.
