Get Lucky

Today's blip was going to be last nights fireworks. But in the cold light of day they just look like a few speckles.
Our new year started with a big breakfast at the village cafe. A glass of Buck's Fizz helped wake us all up. Then later it was back over to the pub for more hair of the dog. The Sunday tradition there is for a raffle in aid of the local Devon air ambulance service. It's known as the Meat Draw and the prizes are various pieces of meat, there is also a veg tray, and the landlords choice (drink from the bar). It's a jolly affair and the attendees are probably 75% local. But great pleasure is taken when a non local wins a prize and cries of "stranger" (in their best Devon accent) greet the winners. We got two prizes. It's going to be a good year!
