Trying to think of how to word a newsletter for CAMRA members here encouraging them to visit the pub (zero alcohol options if they want) just keep it from going bust, even if they are doing DryJanuary, without me sounding like an advert for the benefits of a hangover!

Christmas and New Year entertainment - will the next gust of wind bring this branch down? Still there!

Watched German TV for New Year, as always. Dinner for One is a masterclass then Fireworks to let in the New Year. Over to UK and Jools Holland. Couldn’t find the suicide pills so went over to Alba. Great music, no idea what they were talking about but who cares? Happy New Year everyone.

Do you know what the best thing about getting old is?

Neither do I. Answers on a postcard......
