The festivities began early with our staff Christmas bash at the Copley Arms in Hessingford. Plenty of good cheer, and food, wine, singing and dancing, starring the Copley’s very own Rachel Bradburn – an excellent evening.
This year we had a very merry Christmas with many family visitors from deepest Portsmouth enjoying the best Seaton and Looe has to offer; as did the many guests on holiday at Mount Brioni.
…and, of course, panto with Cinderella at the Theatre Royal Plymouth starring Julian Clarie and Keith Harris. An excellent production, with a happy ending, enjoyed by a packed house.
At dinner on the following day, after of much shopping, not by me, we met a show biz legend and hero of mine since school days. What a great way to end the year.
Best wishes for a happy and peaceful 2012.

But who was the show biz legend? Tell us more!
Re Christmas Cheer, I was lucky enough to have a short chat and laugh with Roy Hudd – what a lovely man.
