New Year’s eve celebrations in the Antelope pub will include slow cooked pork and live music. I have rather taken to their extra pale ale which has a gingery-cum-elderflower bouquet well suited to the post Christmas jaded palate.

If mum’s not staying up to see in the new year, I might head up Maple Road to do some quaffing and gorging.

Then the abstinence will have a good foundation.
