Happy New Year! Depending on when/where you're reading this, that might seem slightly early - indeed, as I write this, here in London, 2019 is just under an hour away. (Yes, I am at home doing nothing on New Year's Eve. Are you really surprised? I write a blog about tins, for goodness' sake.)
In fact, my message is late. Very late. This is, unbelievably, my first blogpost of 2018, so I should have been writing a similar message 364 days ago to welcome in that new year. As it is, the year is all but over. I feel a bit of a cheat in posting this at the last minute in 2018, as to prove that I have done something on the blog front this year. Anyway - huge apologies. Life has got in the way this year, up to a point. But largely it is just that I am a terrible and/or lazy person. In 2019 I will endeavour be less so, and to do much better in providing you with nuggets of tinned goodness to read.
Aside from a very brief post at Christmas last year, the last time I wrote properly in 2017 was Halloween. Let's imagine therefore that there has been a bit of a time-warp, and it is not over a year since my last post, but just a couple of days. Because hot on the heels of Halloween in the UK comes Bonfire Night, on 5th November, when we commemorate a failed attempt to blow up the monarchy and government by setting off fireworks and lighting big fires, traditionally with the effigy of the most famous of the plotters burning on top.
The Tin Cannoisseur. A blog. About food. In tins.
