Some thoughts...

Old age is like a shipwreck.  We struggle to remain buoyant.  We are victims of vagaries as we journey the passage of time.  My voyage has had many incidents; some absorbing, some tragic.  I realised this was life - my life.  This enabled me to treasure this precious gift. Like a wedding ring, you never comprehend how much trauma and happiness lies within its circle.

The Red Lion

Well done to our village pub which is one of only eight ‘Highly Commended’ pubs in the South Norfolk community pub of the year competition.  The citation reads: “The Red Lion is much valued by the community and has proprietors that value the community.”
