The view from outside Beard's deli in Eye
Christmas Day and all that, Brome, Suffolk - 25th December 2013
It's Christmas, and this year we decide to stay small-scale and local and make use of the first part of the grand construction scheme that is sort-of ready - the "conservatory" on the back. Although there's no floor as such and the walls are still naked breeze-block, the doors and windows are in and the roof is on and the builders made a special effort to clear it out for the big day, so it's the site for Christmas lunch. Before then, everyone meets up at the Brome Swan for a traditional Christmas Day beer or two.
