‘Ah, but I still leave them something, and do you know what it is?’
‘No?’
‘A lump of coal.’
‘I don’t like coal.’ Freya’s little nose wrinkled again. ‘God-Mummy, what is coal?’
‘A lump of dirty black rock,’ Seren explained.
‘Ew.’
Seren met Daniel’s gaze. ‘Thank you. That was awesome. She’s cute, isn’t she?’ Seren was as proud of Freya as if she were her own child.

‘Freya, you remember me telling you that Santa is my boyfriend? Do you mind if I give him a kiss?’
And when Freya shook her head to indicate that she didn’t mind, Seren leant forward and kissed her very own Father Christmas.
This Christmas was promising to be the very best yet, thanks to a scruffy little ice cream van that had magicked itself into a cosy travelling Christmas gift shop.
But, as her dad said, a travelling gift shop wasn’t just for Christmas!
