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.

Mowden Park

Another visit to the Darlington Arena, this time to see the big boys play rugby union, Mowden Park versus Hartpury College in National Division 1, watched on a pleasant afternoon by a pretty good crowd of a thousand or so providing a convivial atmosphere; it was a good open game with the visitors winning by the odd converted try in seven, thanks to more clinical finishing of their fewer opportunities, in contrast to Mowden Park who had too many handling errors, unlike one of their fans who managed to field a towering touch kick despite holding a beer in one hand – at a cost it has to be said of spilling most of it down his front.
