What on earth do you do in Horncliffe on New Years Eve?
Head to the pub of course!
Anyone NOT wanting any of those things can stay at home, put their feet up and enjoy the starlit skies we are so blessed with around here in peace!
This year after much debate Veg shed decided to share their January feast on New Years Eve - they nearly did this on New Years Day, but realised that hangovers and general festive overload might be a problem, so we pulled out all the stops and laid on a fabulous Scottish themed buffet for Hogmanay in the newly opened Fisher's Arms.
As we were serving up in the pub, visitors could also help themselves for a very reasonable £15 per head, so we were all asked to make double portions and very usefully, any leftovers were helpfully frozen for the annual Salmon procession and dinner the following weekend.
There was delicious scotch broth to start, haggis, sausage rolls, coleslaw, quiche...
This was my meal -
My husband made macaroni cheese pies - a personal favourite of his...
Oh and the puddings -
Words fail me if I am honest...
After midnight we were treated to live music from veg shed regulars...
Keith and Louise, Nick Allmark, Neil Berry all took turns... the courageous in the audience joined in as well, but to be honest, we have so many sheer, professional level musicians in the village it can be hard to feel you can join in, but maybe next year some of us amateurs should do a turn - Veg Shed is nothing if not democratic!!
