bloody Christmas ... eh?Merry Berry at Mistletoe & WineIt was our first visit to the Great Glemham village hall Saturday for the Alde Valley Players Mistletoe & Wine.  In the first half Katy sang beautifully to digital accompaniment, acapella quintet from Snape Five in a Bar prompted toe tapping with a sleigh bell accompanied Christmas standard but the triumph of the half was Merry Berry cake baking assisted by a two litre bottle of vodka (from Waitrose of course).  We l♥ved the conceit at the intermission that the food was dropped by the passing air ambulance (who were to benefit from the evening) and served elvishly in Christmas stockings to a full house.
