We were open Boxing Day. Customer services were in on Monday. But not many people in Theale this week.
Bit of a social club at Loose Cannon.. Caleb's Dad playing piano. Will's mates all dropping in. Blokes do so like a shed. And Will's shed has a brewery in it. Perfect! Though on the cool side. All doors open. Warmest place was the insulated 'cool room'.
Up here we had a Christmas Day drink on the island, and saw skaters down at the South Pole, yes, Coniston Water is part frozen!
Everyone else has gone back south now. Sitting, nursing a cold with lots of hot toddy, watching the woodpecker and friends enjoying all the leftovers on their table. And watching the cricket. Again and again and again..

Just wanted to say a big thank you to all the staff at the Locks Bottom branch. They are always welcoming even though I lumber in sporting my old anorach on a Saturday afternoon and choose a few select bottles, and after paying I throw them in my rucksack before they have a chance to offer me a bag! They encourage you to browse or are able to inform you all about the wines and are all passionate about their wares. A relaxing and charming experience. We have enjoyed some great wines this year and are looking forward to many more in 2011.
