Walked into town and showed the Litvins "our" cathedral. I was fascinated (what a surprise) by the number of memorials to soldiers and regiments inside. The military presence is gone now but the barracks must have been quite a significant presence here back in the day.
A very quiet New Year's Eve but we managed a quick Skype with the Tarricones before tucking into a finely balanced meal for meat lovers (a magnificent Boeuf Wellington) and vegetarians (cheese and sage lasagne, Yorkshire Puds) before seeing in the New Year....just...with fireworks on the TV. It's been quite a year
