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.

Breakfast of Champions?

Probably not the best morning to turn up early at the Vane Arms for brunch as it was the day of the “Boro special” – a pre-match breakfast (including lager for some) followed by transport to and tickets for the Middlesbrough v Brighton match – but we found a table in the corner and enjoyed our food in the noisy but good-natured atmosphere and then our tea and toast in peace and quiet after the minibuses departed; while the 1-1 draw did not make Boro champions as such it did secure promotion to the Premier League, which is not a bad second prize.
