Introduction


Can each day be headlined by a word (or two) and represented by a single sentence?

Will they, in turn, weave together to form a tapestry of the year?

It may be more mundane than momentous, but it’s mine to share.

Raby Castle


Another fine sunny November day and a drive out to Raby castle for a pre-Christmas food festival that turned out to be a low key affair with maybe a dozen stalls tacked on to the Castle’s own Christmas offering (trees, seasonal shop and Santa), however the quality was good and £20 soon went on scotch eggs, pastries, cheese and chutney, followed by about the same in the tea shop on coffee and well stuffed bacon baps, and a pound or two on stocking fillers in the shop; it stopped there as we go artificial on trees (cat-proof) and I managed to talk my wife out of purloining a random small child (ours being absent and too old anyway) to take to the grotto.
