Happy New Year to everyone!
We hope you all had an enjoyable celebration yesterday in whatever capacity you deemed most appropriate. We had a nice meal at home followed by a couple of drinks at the pub and then home to watch the fireworks over the Thames on the telly.
The display was rather intense; 11 minutes of sound and light fury around Big Ben and the London Eye as they let off an average of 10 fireworks every second for the duration! I can only imagine what it would have been like a couple of hundred meters away across the river!
Today is the last hurrah before the alarm shatters our peaceful reverie tomorrow morning for the trudge to work, boo! But it will be another good year with lots of adventures on the horizon, so stay tuned for rambles, scrambles and hopefully not too many brambles.
Thinking of you all wherever you are in this big wonderful world and wishing you all the best for a fantastic, successful and love filled year!
