I hope that 2nd January is not too late to wish everyone a "Happy New Year". The new year came in quite uneventfully for us. Just Andy and I and his mum waited up to see the New Year in. We tried to send text messages to Adam and Peter, and then regretted doing that as we had a message at 2.30am announcing the delivery of one of them! Since the 2000 celebrations there seem to be many more fireworks locally, so for about 15-20 minutes there are bangs, so we usually wait until these have died down before going to bed, but by 2.30am we were sound asleep.
We watched the countdown from London on TV this year, and saw one million pounds go up in smoke at a spectacular fireworks display, along the Thames River, with the London Eye as its centre piece. I can't help feeling that it was a huge waste of money, but I will probably be considered a kill-joy. Fireworks are incredible displays of colour, but surely they only need to last a few minutes - not 20 minutes!
