We started it with everyone in the house under the weather in one form or another, recovering from either illness or injury. I was feeling a profound tiredness in my bones. I definitely need the next two weeks off work, living life in the slow lane in order to recharge my batteries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>We spent Christmas with my wife\u2019s family in Ross-on-Wye. Usually we would stay at my wife\u2019s parents\u2019 house, but for a bunch of reasons we wanted to make life easier for everyone, so my wife found us <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/gb\/whitchurch-clock-tower-apartment.en-gb.html\" title=\"Booking.com: Whitchurch Clock Tower Apartment\">a lovely apartment<\/a> in the nearby village of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Whitchurch,_Herefordshire\" title=\"Wikipedia: Whitchurch, Herefordshire\">Whitchurch<\/a> that we rented for a couple of nights. It was perfect for us. There were only two bedrooms, but our boys took it in turns to stay either in the second bedroom or on the extremely comfy large sofa in the living room. The place was cosy, but only once we had turned on all of the electric radiators and fan heaters. It was a little shocking to see on the meter that we got through \u00a320 of electricity in less than two days, considering we were only really there in the evenings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>Just outside the apartment is a lovely old clock tower, built in 1867 and refurbished in 2010. The information board told us that it originally cost \u00a3200, which according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bankofengland.co.uk\/monetary-policy\/inflation\/inflation-calculator\" title=\"Bank of England: Inflation calculator\">the Bank of England Inflation Calculator<\/a> is \u00a319,532 in today\u2019s money. Given that the refurbishment cost \u00a325,000, this sounds like it was a bargain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DraggedImage-8-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"The Whitchurch Clock Tower\" class=\"wp-image-12981\" srcset=\"https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DraggedImage-8-scaled.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DraggedImage-8-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DraggedImage-8-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DraggedImage-8-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DraggedImage-8-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DraggedImage-8-525x700.jpeg 525w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption>The Whitchurch Clock Tower<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DraggedImage-1-3-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"Information board beside the Whitchurch Clock Tower\" class=\"wp-image-12982\" srcset=\"https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DraggedImage-1-3-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DraggedImage-1-3-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DraggedImage-1-3-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DraggedImage-1-3-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DraggedImage-1-3-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DraggedImage-1-3-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DraggedImage-1-3-700x525.jpeg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><figcaption>Information board beside the Whitchurch Clock Tower<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Christmas itself was lovely, and it was great to be able to be with everyone but know that we weren\u2019t imposing on them. We got to see all of our nephews and their families, and had some delicious Christmas food. It was a good time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>As well as going away for Christmas, this was a week in which I:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\t<li>Set my alarm early on Monday in order to get on my indoor bike trainer before a roofer was due to come and take a look at our house. It turned out that I didn\u2019t need to be up so early as he ended up cancelling on us. After a couple of attempts at rearranging, we told him not to bother. Given that it is likely to be an expensive repair, engaging a roofer who can\u2019t keep an appointment doesn\u2019t feel like a good idea.<\/li>\n\t<li>Joined our neighbours for an annual Christmas sing-song in the street. Two of our neighbours organise it every year, bringing lyric sheets, hot chocolate, and mulled wine. I love that they do this.<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DraggedImage-2-3-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"Singing Christmas songs with the neighbours\" class=\"wp-image-12980\" srcset=\"https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DraggedImage-2-3-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DraggedImage-2-3-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DraggedImage-2-3-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DraggedImage-2-3-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DraggedImage-2-3-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DraggedImage-2-3-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DraggedImage-2-3-700x525.jpeg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><figcaption>Singing Christmas songs with the neighbours<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\t<li>Had one of the worst meals of my life at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thepottingshed.uk\" title=\"The Potting Shed, Whitchurch\">The Potting Shed<\/a> in Whitchurch. We booked the restaurant for dinner on Christmas Eve as it was a short walk from where we were staying. It had so much promise \u2014 a quirky barn conversion with a fireplace and lots of festive decorations. But the food was terrible. My wife and I had mushroom stroganoff, but the congealed nature of the rice pointed to it having come from a microwaveable pouch. The starters weren\u2019t much better. The boys ordered steaks; our eldest sent his back as it was slightly underdone, but it came back with the consistency of a burger. We all decided to skip dessert as we knew it wouldn\u2019t be any better. I get the feeling that this is the type of food that you used to find all over the UK, because the restaurants are serving people who don\u2019t have a lot of choice if they want to eat out. Handing over \u00a3160 for what we had was painful.<\/li>\n\t<li>Got stuck driving up the High Street in Ross-on-Wye as the horses gathered for the Boxing Day hunt.<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DraggedImage-3-3-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"The start of the Boxing Day hunt in Ross-on-Wye\" class=\"wp-image-12979\" srcset=\"https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DraggedImage-3-3-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DraggedImage-3-3-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DraggedImage-3-3-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DraggedImage-3-3-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DraggedImage-3-3-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DraggedImage-3-3-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DraggedImage-3-3-700x525.jpeg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><figcaption>The start of the Boxing Day hunt in Ross-on-Wye<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\t<li>Started watching the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/2026_PDC_World_Darts_Championship\" title=\"Wikipedia: 2026 PDC World Darts Championship\">PDC World Darts Championship<\/a>.
