Father Broadband

Any other day I'd have been annoyed to be woken at two-thirty in the morning. But to us the phone tinkling in the early hours was the equivalent of hearing reindeer footsteps on the roof. I closed my eyes and went back to sleep, hoping.

When we woke, Emma and I turned to each other. "Did you hear it?" ... "Do you think?"

We hadn't been dreaming. Broadband - like Father Christmas - had come in the night.
