A Holiday Horror Story....

After Christmas two years ago Peter and Maria decided to go away for New year. They didn't want to stay in the hotel with crowds of people and they were delighted when they saw an advertisement in the "Sunday Time " for a holiday flat in the village near Oxford. It was ordinary flat. It was on the top floor of an old Elizabethan mansion. They booked it , and on New year's Eve they set of in the car. It was raining and freezing cold, they wre happy and excited.

They have been driving for three hours when they saw the house in the distance. It looked magnificent with all chimveys and a long- wide drive . They drove up to the house, went up the steps to the huge front door and knocked..... nothing happened. They knocked again. The door opened and a small wild-looking old lady stood there...

When they got outside again the rain had turned to snow they ran to the car and laughing. They felt that they have been released from a prison and now they wanted to be with lots of people. They drove to the next village and as midnight was striking they found a hotel with a room for the night "Happy New Year" cried Jack as he kissed the surprised receptionist on both cheeks. "You have no idea now beautiful your hotel is ".
