While everyone is out and embracing the festivities of Christmas, others prefer to snuggle up with a good book.
There are a wide variety of titles out there but those of a motoring nature are the ones of particular interest here.
Nothing like a good book
Some biscotti or Ouma's rusks and a hot cup of coffee, or a good glass of wine, sets the idyllic setting for which to enjoy some scripted pleasure and switch off from the world for a while.
