Well here we go again!. Another new year has sprung upon us, and we can put the old one to bed. Lets hope this one will yield more frames, more scrapes, more reports, more members and more blue skies.

Thanks Chris, it doesn't seem possiblE that we are now into 2023, almost three years since the Covid pandemic swept across the globe and changed most peoples' lives. The only good thing about 2020 and 2021 were that they passed so quickly which is odd considering how restricted we all were with regards to travelling and socialising.
2022 was so much better, we could all go abroad if we wanted to, no restrictions on domestic travel, pubs, bars and restaurants were open albeit having a tough time and of course, airshows were back on the agenda. Covid now seems to be on the ascent in China, the authorities having relaxed restrictions due to public pressure but with the corresponding and rather expected huge rise in cases. Personally, I find it difficult to garner that much sympathy, it seems the wheel has turned full circle and whilst the rest of the world is seeing Covid retreat into the shadows, the place where it all started is in a much worse state. Karma I guess.....

Happy New Year to all, as the song says let's hope it's a good one etc
Nothing to show for 1st.
2nd rather better with fully 10 frames. A bit odd to get so many gap fillers in one day, I don't know when I last scored an easyJet, but I'll take them.

It's the good lady's and my 25th anniversary in May so decided to book a surprise trip for us both. Made sure it was OK with work and the dog carer firstly which both were, so went ahead and booked seven nights in Corfu in a small resort on the northeast coast named Ipsos. She was somewhat pleased when I told her when she came home for lunch yesterday. Nice flight times there and back from LGW too.
This morning, I took a quick drive up to Swindon to see whether the sales in the McArthur Glen Designer Village had anything worth having and they did. A pair of Kurt Gaiger tan Chelsea boots reduced from £129 to £39 so to celebrate, I also called in at the beer shop in Old Town and spent the money I'd saved on a load of tins and bottles.

There's a cracking beer shop in Swindon Chris, it trades as Magnum Wines but sells anything alcoholic and has a superb range of tinned and bottled beers. There's also a place called "Drink Valley" in Swindon, it had humble beginnings in a tiny retail unit but about a year ago relocated to a much larger premises with both an on and off license plus behind the bar is the actual micro brewery that is always available to have a look around. There's also Independent Spirit in Bath, a larger selection but a bit pricier.
