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.

Duck Food, Duck Weather

We made our annual visit to Bishop Auckland Food Festival and found it slightly curtailed as the castle grounds were not available due to work in progress on a visitor centre, but we still spent a sunny hour or so perusing the stalls and buying produce and I, for once, chose the right street food stall for my lunch – getting a toasted brioche filled with shredded duck, crispy bacon, red onion jam, mayo, lettuce and tomato, which was heaven in a bun; it was consumed just in time as the rain came down hard sending us through the puddles to one of the few places of shelter, in fact of sanctuary, in the church (briefly) then the adjacent church hall (longer) where mugs of tea could be had.
