Snowing for Christmas. Also ruddy freezing for Christmas, as well.

They have been and gone, I passed on everyone's best wishes and they said hello and Happy Christmas to everybody here who knows them.
They are both healthy and in fine spirits, with a decent portfolio of work ahead of them.
I didn't really have much interaction on here with them before they stopped chatting on here.
I do remember their wedding pictures though because it was around time that I joined CC and thought how wonderful!
They are a wonderful couple, and Arch was the one who told everyone on cycling plus about this place and sparked the great migration. They are very creative people and have recently been responsible for most of the set dressing and refurbishment of The Western Approaches Museum in Liverpool.

There's always hope (not to mention hops)...
So much for my " All shopping done" post on Thursday last.
MrsP catches me first thing as I was going our for a cafe breakfast and to collect the pre-ordered artisanal breads.
"As you are going into the village can you call in the Co-Op?"
There was a list.
It was a loooong list.
"You can use my dividend card ... it has £30 on it." says MrsP.
I do Co-Op shopping present MrsP's dividend card to Co-Op hard working underpaid and obviously lovely person on the till.
She scans it and says...
"You are NOT MrsSurname".
"No that's my wife's dividend card" says I all meek and smiley .. "she asked me to use it for her."
"BUT YOU CAN'T SIGN HER NAME ON THE DIVIDEND RECEIPT...THAT WOULD BE FORGERY." responds the Co-Op hard working, obviously underpaid and presumably lovely lass.
"Well Merry Christmas to you too" chuckles I and pay cash.
God bless those hard working, underpaid, obviously hard working and deserving of all praise.. Co-Op Workers so diligently serving their communities over this festive tide.
Keep calm and drink on!
Aaaahhh, good old sticky backed plastic!
Me too..it's the most wonderful time of the year!
Warninks Advocat is the taste of Christmases past here at the moment.
I raise a glass in your general directions.
As do I!
In the words of Tom Waits, it's last call somewhere in the world.
For those about to rock, we salute you!
Why not just stay up, then you won't have to worry about waking up?...

If you get a break in Derby this place is well worth a pint,
The Brunswick.
It's across the road from the station and was built as a 'Railwaymans Inn'
You really are just a big kid, enjoy, I may be a little jealous.

Lovely Christmas Eve afternoon. Tootled out on the Pashley Sovereign Roadster around some Wolds and called in for a pint of Guinness on the way back. Easy 12-miles, give or take but 'hilly' ( for round here). My poor old legs know now that they hadn't been out on the bike for above a week prior-to. Walking like John Wayne at the moment.
Reg, it may be a little late for prezzies this year, but you might like to drop some hints to Mr R for next timeIt’s a diesel - and look where we’re sat...

I went on a Santa ride a couple of weeks back from Rowsley to Matlock return. Probably even with that steam engine as it is the spitting image of the one that took us. Ours was called Ring Haw. It was a great short ride, 30 minutes each way.
