Carol concert & mulled cider

I am off to the nursery's carol concert tomorrow. The nativity play is not to be performed this year because it was felt to be unfair to force the children into something they didn't want to do! Who says they want to perform songs at a concert? Anyway, at least we can take photos and record the performances. I am led to believe some local authorities are still agin this! Humbug!

What has this got to do with beer? Nothing. However, have a think about serving mulled cider rather than mulled wine at your carol service or Christmas party. It is really good. Try and get a hold of a 'real' cider, and a good, strong one at that. 6% ABV at the very least. My old mucker John Howkins might baulk at this (he is ex-Bulmers) but try it for yourself.
