<p>On New Year's Eve the Market Rasen contingent of the family went to The Olive. The food (hot and cold buffet) was very good although we didn't have a table to sit at and perched around a large coffee table eating. Dave, Lucie and I managed to consume three bottles of wine which probably wasn't a good idea. New Year's Day I awoke with a heavy head after attempting to drown my sorrows and so I went with Dave and Lucie to Cleethorpes for a walk along the shore before enjoying the delights of a sausage bap with lashings of HP sauce. This proved to be a cure-all in terms of heavy head and low mood however I'm not sure it was doing too much for my weight or arteries.</p>

<p>At the weekend it was the first anniversary of Mary and I meeting on our very first date. We celebrated by having dinner at the Advocate Arms in Market Rasen. It is the best restaurant in the town but that isn't saying a great deal. Nonetheless it was an enjoyable evening with plenty of talk about the adventures, the highs and lows of the past twelve months.</p>
