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.

Summer Sound Smugglers

Along with three other couples we travelled by minibus to Guisborough Priory for the Summer Sounds 80’s Night and as we queued to get in, well prepared we thought for the outdoor event with warm clothes, rain capes, camping chairs, picnic and bottles of wine and beer, we were rocked back on our heels by one of the gate staff walking the line and bellowing out “no bottles & no glassware allowed in the venue”; wanting neither to abandon nor instantly swallow our liquor, we opted to smuggle it in (it is surprising how many bottles of booze can be squeezed into the camping chair bag along with the seat) and happily we managed to avoid detection and were able to enjoy a night of tribute bands – Abba, Boy George, Wham and Blondie – and drink our illicit contraband.
