Out with the old....

OK, so it wasn't quite the hottest day of the year, but it was warm enough for us to leave off our woolly underwear and doff our jumpers. Storm clouds had just obscured the sun as we set off, and the bit of cooling rain that fell on the last run/walk of 2013 was very welcome.

The hardy souls who made it in from the sticks to the city were rewarded by being able to polish off the last of the Christmas champagne after a stroll along and over the river.  Eweshggr received a bottle of beer that seemed to have been named especially for him.  George showed off his new haircut, and all 4 of the hash pooches who were there held a macrame competition using their leads. All in all, it was a good evening to round off a year whose Hash highlights included

These are, of course, but a few of the memories from this year. Every week has been special in its own way (aaaah....)

Our first outing for 2014 will be a village run from John Scott Park. Bring along all those Christmas and New Year leftovers for a potluck dinner. Who'll have the greenest cold turkey?

Finally, for those who couldn't get enough of Le W*nk's Christmas cracker jokes, here are just a few more...
