Happy New Year! We had a tremendous evening at Hilary and Steven’s meeting up with old friends and meeting new (delightful) people. They even produced a birthday cake and a little gift for me! When we got home we continued our celebrations with David and Chanel, who were in fine form and introduced me to the music of George Ezra, which I love! We went to bed extremely late.
In the morning James and I went for our usual neighbourhood walk through Cambuslang and Holmhills parks. It was a stunningly beautiful day; pale blue skies and dazzling January sunshine slanting very low. All the people that we passed wished us a Happy New Year.
We then prepared the New Year’s lunch, or I should really say James prepared it, because he cooked everything. He baked bread to accompany his delicious winter vegetable soup, he made Gammon in Red Wine (using the recently retrieved recipe!) and followed it with a traditional Scottish trifle complete with hundreds and thousands. Sadly, Davie and Chanel were a little under the weather after their shenanigans last night, especially Davie. Chanel rallied round and joined us and Grandma for lunch but Davie just couldn’t face it and took to his bed. Never mind, there are plenty of leftovers which he will no doubt enjoy tomorrow. Grandma seemed to enjoy herself and was proud of James for his cooking. So now James and I are very tired and about to head for bed. It has been a good start to the new year.
