Fresh, crisp and frozen in Stroud. Stayed over at friend's and so have enjoyed beautiful drive home this morning.

New year, new leaf and new wines to try. Amelia hasn't yet gone to bed.

Been a lovely day here too. Let's hope for some summer this year instead of the recent monsoon seasons.

We got to bed at just after 2am, woke at 10am (haven’t slept in that late since, well, cant remember when), went for a three hour walk around the lanes, stopped for coffee at the local, back for slow roast beef. I wasn’t in the mood for drinking but had a wee glass of NZ Pinot Noir to up the blood sugar.

NYE party was a roar, anyone ever played Donkey around a ping-pong table? Imagine 10 people each holding a t-tennis bat surrounding the table, all moving clockwise with one hit each, mess up and you loose a life. Add to that a bunch of well-oiled participants and you get the picture.
I wont mention the karaoke.

So that’s it, all over for another year.

Good health to you all, happy quaffing!!

Oh, nearly forgot, our great leader sends his regards too...
