Parochial revels

Fabulous Parish Council Christmas "Do" at the Carpenters Arms on Wednesday. Entirely paid for by parish councillors I might add, so MPs please note. James, the landlord for the last year did an excellent job - good hearty food, promptly served. The raffle raised £72 for Diabetes UK so good on everyone. The Broad Green party  tried to offload two new duplicate books but still came home with Howard Jacobson's "The Finkler Question" (clearly we are looking for answers on that one). Good reading to whoever has  CJ Sansom's "Revelation" - one of his Tudor murder mysteries. Thanks to Jill Brocklebank for the best joke of the evening:

How can you tell when a blind man goes for a bungee jump?
Answer: You hear the splash of the labrador

Hello,

Just came across your blog as you mentioned Diabetes UK. Thank you so much for raising money from your raffle for us - it's a wonderful amount. Hope you all had a great time at the Christmas do!

All the best,

Joe

We certainly did Joe - and left a reasonable amount of capacity for the rest of the revelry reason (well, most of us I think)
