However, after a drunken brunch with friends, we purchased tickets, deciding to “Never Give Up on the Good Times”, a week before.

Christmas in July at Bierkeller Cardiff

Last week on Thursday 19th July 2018 I attended Christmas in July with some of my work colleagues at the Bierkeller in Cardiff.  I am a massive fan of Christmas and I am ready to celebrate all year round.  However, I do think that decorations should not go up until December – I don’t understand those who put them up in November and take them down in February!
