A combination of grotty weather and no confirmed local pub openings for Christmas Day meant that we decided to hunker down in the flat for the day.
Naturally, there was a fair bit of beer in the fridge but, for the bulk of the day, we did our normal thing and drank tea. We played a complicated board game (took 5 hours in total) and switched to a modest amount of the usual sort of beer come mid-afternoon.
Christmas Day tends to be quite an understated day for us so this was entirely in-keeping.
On Boxing Day, I did a bit of research and found that the Oxford was open. So we ambled along the first bit of the Greenway, up and over the railway bridge and up the hill.
The pub looked warm and welcoming - three BBF beers on tap and a table away from the singer. Perfect.
IT got a little bit busier and with that came extra noise but it was nice to be in a pub again.
After a couple of pints we strolled home to a shared can of Moor Rebirth (the Fullers ESB collab).
Now we're all sitting on tenter hooks again waiting to see what the outcome of the "briefing" is.
I daresay 4pm or so will find us out on a stroll to see what's open around. After all, we may have to re-rely on fridge beer before too long...
