One of the reasons I’m falling out of love with my camera is its shoddy, awful fuzzy picture quality in low light. Grr. Any recommendations for decent cameras would be very much appreciated: with the proviso that it must be a small point/click, not a big SLR.

Anyway: probably my last blog posting before Christmas: and a seasonal bottle of beer. Saint Landelin normally make either blonder or ambrée beer, but this is the Christmas special. The saint was the founder of Crespin Abbey, where this beer originated, in the Hainault province of Belgium (and there I was thinking that Hainault was a tube station). It’s now brewed in Douai, south of Lille, by Les Brasseurs de Gayant.

It bears a lot of resemblance to an ambrée, but is much more complex and tasty. At only 6.5%, it’s not terribly strong, either (though it certainly tastes it).

So, given I’m drinking a Christmas beer at the moment, perhaps now’s the time to wish you Season’s Greetings, and all the best for the next couple of days.
