How Grimm Saved Christmas – David J Gatward

he said. ‘There’s another shovel over here, Harry.’ Harry raised a finger at Gordy, warning her to throw no more snowballs. She hooked an arm back, went to throw, then dropped what was in her hand. ‘Truce?’ ‘Truce.’ Harry grabbed the shovel. ‘Come on, then,’ he said. ‘There’s a kettle in there that needs to be boiled, and the tea’s not going to make itself, is it?’ And with that said, the three of them attacked the snow.

OceanofPDF.com Once in the office, Harry’s time was spent answering calls from the rest of the team trapped in various parts of the dale. Matt was the closest and would be over once the snow on the main road had been cut through by the blowers and ploughs. When that would be though was anyone’s guess. Harry made sure that Matt understood it was important he stay with Joan and Mary-Ann, and to not worry about getting in until it was safe to do so. Matt protested, and Harry ignored the protests.

Jen and Jadyn were trapped in the cul-de-sac where Jen lived and were busy being part of a community effort to make sure everyone could get out, and at the very least, to the shops. Fires were being lit in homes, lots of hot drinks made, and armed with spades, everyone was digging everyone else out. Liz and Ben were having the same issue, though were closer to the main road, and Liz was fairly sure she would be able to make her way in soon, thanks to the police motorbike she used, its winter tyres, and the snow chains she had for it.

Harry had thought she sounded a little too enthusiastic about the journey over, especially when she started talking about trying out the old Cam Road from Bainbridge.

Gatward OceanofPDF.com Grimm: nickname for a dour and forbidding individual, from Old High German grim [meaning] ‘stern’, ‘severe’. From a Germanic personal name, Grima, [meaning] ‘mask’. (www.ancestry.co.uk) OceanofPDF.com To all the fans who kept asking when … OceanofPDF.com ONE Claire was so cold that she wondered if the tears she needed to cry would freeze before they fell. She cried them anyway, her mind so fractured by how she’d ended up where she now was, that the pain just leaked through the cracks.

Cradling her swollen stomach didn’t help either, and the kick she felt, no stronger than the flutter of a butterfly’s wing, made her cry out. ‘Claire?’ The voice came to her from the other side of the fire. It was burning pathetically in an old oil drum, but it wasn’t like she could have one in the caravan, was it? Claire stared through the smoke, which twisted in the air like tentacles searching for prey. The man opposite her was wide-eyed with concern.

‘I’m okay, Ant.’ ‘You don’t sound okay.’ Claire gave no reply, just shrugged. ‘How’s the baby?’ ‘Grumpy, I think. Probably doesn’t like the cold either.’ Ant rubbed his hands over the fire. He was wearing fingerless gloves and wrapped in numerous layers of ill-fitting clothes. The hat on his head he’d knitted himself. He’d knitted one for everyone else in the caravans as well, the wool recycled from a collection of jumpers he’d gathered over the years with too many holes in to wear again.

‘How long ‘till it arrives now?’ ‘Too long,’ said Claire, then she realised she was about to cry out again and clamped a hand over her mouth. ‘Think I’ll head inside, have a lie down.’ ‘I can give you my electric heater if you need it,’ said Ant. ‘I’m fine without one for now, and I think you need two, to keep you and the baby warm.’

Claire shook her head.
