Deepest December sees Rob and Paul having a variety of adventures in Wanstead. Featuring full-on festivities - including many more movies, wild wee fun, chastening cocktails, sun-kissed skiing, Christmas drama, a wonky wisdom-tooth whip-out, supplementary Shakespeare, empty pond shenanigans, parkrun report, noisy neighbours, birds and cows - but not horses - and a couple of very inspiring PBs.
Happy Christmas guys. Lots of love.
