We have had a very pleasant start to the New Year. We had a leisurely breakfast followed by a morning walk around the neighbourhood. There were many empty or half empty drinks bottles lying around the streets after last night’s celebrations. There were tonic wines - Buckfast of course, and Eldorado (self-proclaimed as “Scotland’s Own”) and a cloudy pink concoction which was called MD 20/20 Electric Melon. I also noticed some men’s underpants slung over a fence.
James lit the fire and we spent the afternoon in the lounge; Ally, Cat, Davie and Chanel were wholesomely playing board games and James and I read our books and James prepared a delicious NewYear’s repast of gammon joint with cherries. There was much merriment at dinner which continued into the evening as we played the Name Game with post it notes stuck to our foreheads with the names of celebrities or animals. We had such a laugh - it was a nice atmosphere with which to start the new decade.
