Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark, but dry outside here in brackley this morning.
Today will see calendar changes plus a wall chart , tempted to Chinese later today but may change mind .It was a quiet new year for a change normally hear fireworks, but nothing locally .
Anyway a Happy New Year ,and Take Care.
Mick

HAPPY NEW YEAR from Harrogate
Thanks Mick for starting us off again for this New Year!
My thoughts are with GrannySomerset and Gingster your DD is having a tough time
We stayed up, but only just until the New Year Arrived
Got lots to do today, so I’d better get a move on!
Make this day the best yet, and 2022 the best year yet!!

H A P P Y NEW YEAR ‼️

Good morning everyone from south Manchester where I’m up late because we went to bed after 1am. Ooh-er! It’s dry, seems chilly but the sun’s up which is a nice start to 2022.

Our friends are still abed so we’re creeping...

Happy New Year. I went to bed at 10. Was too tired to stay up. But I've still enjoyed it staying in watching tele.

Happy New Year all!
I’ve had a peek outside and it looks pretty much like last year. Happy to report Rosie seemed unaware of or at least unfazed by any fireworks last night.
None near us or particularly loud but Hattie and Gracie would have been quivering wrecks so a huge relief.
Wishing you all good health and good heart.

Good morning all and a Happy New Year from Polmont. 13°, still quite dark and dry at the moment.
I'm having family and friends later for dinner so I shall potter about all day. I hope you all have a good day.

Happy New Year from Cheshire.
More visitors today so need to be organised. Will get up soon.
Hope 2022 sees all Gransnetters in a good place.

Good morning from a grey but mild Colchester.
The three of us saw in the New Year with chocolates and TV. DS has spent much of these last 2 years avoiding social situations. I hope he can soon go back to the normal lifestyle of a 20 something.
Our first New Year here and there were many more fireworks than in our previous area further out of town, but surprisingly less noise from drunken revellers.
We're starting 2022 with a quiet weekend waiting for negative results from family.

Thinking of Grandmasomerset flowers

Happy New Year and love to all ? x

Morning Mick and All.

New Year Greetings.

Welcome back Bellasnana and Alizarin. ??

We’ve invited 2 of our neighbours round for morning coffee and warm mince pies. One is 97 the other nearly 90, they’ve never met before so we thought it would be nice to introduce them. They are both totally with it and one is a bit if a glamour puss so I better put on my glad rags and not wear my slippers.

For once Kitty I didn’t miss Midnight as I woke at 3 minutes to 12 ⏰ for a quick comfort break.

Good morning, everyone, from a mild, dry and calm Torbay.

Welcome back, Bellasnana! So good to see a post from you!

We didn’t see in the New Year and I slept through the local fireworks which DH heard just after midnight. Our celebration consisted of the three game roast, originally intended for Christmas Day, before we knew we’d be with my family. We shared fizz from Denbies, a vineyard near Dorking, where we first met at school. It is sold currently in Lidl!

My thoughts and prayers are with GrannySomerset at such a sad time, wrestling with the decision. My inclination would be to share with family if they can be contacted. ?

Peace and love to you all and a happier new year. ?????

Happy New Year Mick and the Good Morning-ers from east London.

We had our second NYE not going out, due to me being CEV. We made the best of it and had a lovely meal with a bottle of champagne.

The fireworks here were prodigious.

Wishing everyone a better 2022, which is as safe, healthy and happy as possible. ?

Gingster Sat 01-Jan-22 08:01:25

Good morning all and it’s just getting light here in Essex.
The fireworks were very loud last evening and went in until about 1am. I have little DGD staying again as mum has been re admitted to hospital with an infection. Let’s hope it clears up soon.?. I’ve never known a child to wriggle and leap about in her sleep like this one! She’s sleeping with me , so I didn’t get much shuteye!

Thinking of grannysomerset . A very sad time for you.?

Nice to hear from Bellasnanna and Alizirin. Great to see you’re both ok.?

Let’s hope 2022 is a better year for all of us. ?

Happy New Year Mick and all Good Morningers!

We didn't make midnight but the new year has dawned without our input.

We had a lovely visit from DS2 yesterday.

It looks as though we might get rain today.

Happy New Year from DD1 house in Cambridge
We enjoyed staying up to bring in the New Year with a bottle of Prosecco and saw quite a few fireworks from the bedroom windows
DGSs have both just got up but mum and dad are still snoozing upstairs, I expect they’ll be there for a while yet as they had quite a late night
Thanks for starting us off on a new year mick and take care everyone whatever the day brings ?

Thanks Mick for starting us off on another year ?

Good Morning everyone from Severnside on New Years Day. It’s damp outside.

I spent the evening asleep and woke a few minutes to midnight. I watched the fireworks on tv and then watched the rest of Four Weddings and a Funeral. I heard one firework go off near me.

I’ll take my cards down today and faff about the house a bit. I might go out to a quirky shop in town and see if they have something I’d like to buy for a present.

Special thoughts for you grannysomerset as you face the near future ?

My good wishes to you all for the coming year ??

Happy New Year from the south coast where the mild weather continues. DH and chums are going for the first bike ride of 2022 and hopefully it will be the first of many for them.

Sending good wishes to everyone for health and happiness and a better 2022 than the last two years have been. sunshine
