The Ambridge Observer is taking a Christmas break – not that we'll be propping up the bar at The Bull having a crisp-packet-popping contest with Barry Simmons and listening to Oliver Sterling's memories of Tuscany. Oh no. With everyone so stretched in Ambridge at the moment, we've already promised to help Clarrie dress the turkeys, Tom and Natasha plant their fruit trees and Jenny pack up the last of her second-best china. We drew the line at assisting Alistair with the aftermath of Bess eating a whole bowlful of Jill's Christmas pudding mixture. You can also expect to see us standing in for various roles at the Canterbury Tales, none of which, we sincerely hope, will involve a stunt bottom.
Have a wonderful Christmas everyone; thanks for reading this year and for all your lovely comments. See you in 2019!
I don't usually comment, but I do enjoy reading the AO every week and look forward to reading all the news from Ambridge in 2019.
