    Supervalu have their own brand Wensleydale and cranberry, it's only about 2 euro. Would be very surprised if your local one didn't stock it.

    Be surprised! They don't! Already checked.. lol... A very small SV. Have you tried it? A lovely combination.

    Sadly the long term forecast is for a wet, windy, mild winter. Feb/March could bring some snow though.

    Have a look at the Weather Forum. A possibility this Thursday.. Off to do my Snow Dance !

    Am currently loving the Steak mustard from Graham's, which has lots of tarragon

    Have seen the hams in the supermarkets already. Not sure I'd fancy picking one up this far out though!

    Darts has started tonight so that's another one that can be crossed off.

    Am I the only one who thinks a more streamlined list is better rather than having about 300 things on it? :pac:

    I think we should wait and see how 2021 starts before we start piling in with potential list items, plenty of scope for 2021 to pick up right where 2020 left off... i.e more of the same.

    Exactly, a healthy amount of caution is needed for 2021!

    Maybe I am just overly optimistic about next year.

    I'm not pessimistic, I just prefer to cross off the big events, not 321 random sporting events I've never heard of/don't care about. :pac:
