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.

The White Horse

The White Horse was my dad’s local pub, at the top of our road, which meant I rarely went in it, at first because I was under age, then because I found the draught Boddington’s beer unsuited to my immature taste; today to commemorate a year since his passing I called in while visiting Salford and found the exterior unchanged, and inside the old warren of separate drinking rooms still discernable, despite some opening out of the area, along with a few remnants of the old place thankfully retained as ‘period features’, but the plan to toast the old man with a pint of Boddington’s was scuppered as Greene King are now in residence so I had to make do (no hardship) with Doombar instead.
