The Lintel by Albert Welling

Their tree is up (albeit the lights don't work), an open fire blazing in the inglenook fireplace, no TV and carols on the tape machine.

Howard and Vicky are looking forward to the perfect Christmas in their country cottage, when their idyll is interrupted…

It's set on a cold, snowy Christmas Day, now and a century ago.
