My favourite friend is Holland & Barratt - anyone breaks in here I'll force feed the bastard some Tea Tree oil!
What I love the most about Snow is the way it changes dynamics. The dynamics of travelling and clothing are fairly obvious, but the way it completely deadens sound is almost spooky. Definitely a hifi lesson there! But the most amazing dynamic change for me is light - I've just been outside and it is like being out in the middle of the day, the beautiful whiteness acting as the perfect reflector - God is definitely a photographer.

No white Chrimbo for me either - not sure if I win or lose - can't remember, and 26 bottles of wine in 3 days (between 6 of us!) has taken its toll. Equally importantly, how did Marco get on viewing Wynn Hall?
