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.

Football Finale

In the last four years my final game of the football season has involved three trips to Wembley for the FA Vase or Trophy final (and the other was watching Brazil playing in the Olympics), but last night I signed off this year by heading in the opposite direction and to the opposite end of the stadia spectrum, in the shape of the Doctor Pitt Welfare Park, Bedlington, where in the last game of the Northern League, Shildon needed to beat Bedlington Terriers to become Champions; the game was fast and furious as Shildon pressed hard, only to lose a breakaway goal, which they pulled back with twenty minutes to go but were then unable to force home the winner, handing the title to Marske United in the final twist of a very good and competitive season.
