Good Morning Monday 1st January 2024 New Years Day

Good morning and a Happy New Year to all from the Black country, still windy but dry at the moment.
Will make a start on taking decorations down.
Roast lamb for dinner and theres a trifle that needs eating.
Enjoy your day everyone whatever your plans and may you all find some ☀️.

Wishing you all a very Happy and Prosperous New Year from soggy Harrogate

Happy Anniversary Thorntrees 🍾🥂💐

Good morning from a still Durham. Happy New Year to fellow GNs. May it be healthy and happy and anything else is a bonus.
I didn’t go to bed until 4am - not partying, simply not tired. As I have no plans today, I’ll bring a cup of tea back to bed and watch a bit of tv. Maybe potter in the garden later, while I do DD2’s latest laundry.
Best wishes to all. X

Good morning and a happy new year to you all!
Didn’t mean to stay up to see the new year in but got hooked on Vigil season 2 and found I was still awake at midnight.
Rosie was conscious of the fireworks but not distressed so Phew!

So now all the flummery is over, the snacks and nibbles eaten and the Baileys drunk, up it might be time to address the avoirdupois - like my friend here!
Wishing you all a good day, month and year!

Happy New Year and good morning from Severnside.
I too remember that lovely photo mizuna. It’s a good one for a leap year.

I went to my brother and sister in law yesterday for lunch and the afternoon. Watched tv in the evening bobbing in and out of programmes, fell asleep not far off midnight so missed the fireworks and woke at 20 past 12.

Today I’m going to take down decorations and hopefully have a FaceTime with my overseas family.

Have a good day all 🎉💐

Good New Year wishes from the Boggy Brae. I selpt through all the fireworks around the loch last night. Sometimes I wake and watch them; sometimes I don't 🙃

There is a walk planned with a couple of friends.

Have your best days 🦩💫

Good morning and a very Happy New Year to all on Gransnet. It is bright and sunny here in Northampton, with a gusty wind which blew my side gate open overnight. I had wedged it closed, but the wind still managed to shift it.

A quiet day in yesterday; I stayed up and watched Rick Astley and the fireworks at midnight, but didn't sleep well when I eventually got to bed, perhaps it was the fizz! I seem to have developed neuralgia which has been painful.
DS was working overnight in London, and sent me some photos of the firework display which he could see from his office window.

Another quiet day in, and hope to make a start on Demon Copperhead which I have a month to read for book club.

I also would like to see a picture of your new bag karmalady!

When all the festivities have left you drained, it's time to get out there and reset. Come on guys!
Happy New Year 2024.

Good morning Mick and all on this lovely thread from a dry north 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿- I’ve been AWOL too long but have dipped in occasionally to read about your bizzinesses 😉 - some have made me 🤣 out loud!

I also know that some have had such trying times (no names in case I miss one) in 2023 and hope that this year will be better in all the ways you’d want 🤗

All has been relatively quiet at PG towers and I thank my blessings for that as I know that tougher days are coming with loved ones health but hopefully not yet…🤞

A good new year to all 🥂x

Good morning and Happy New Year from Shropshire.Dry at the moment with rain forecast later.

Nothing planned today.I think DH is going to make a roast dinner, well a vegetarian roast!

Have a good day everyone🦩

A very Happy Anniversary Mr&Mrs Thorntrees enjoy your special day! ❤️💐🥂

Wishing everyone a Happy, Healthy New Year from a rather soggy West Oxfordshire. It isn't actually raining at the moment and is calm but rather gloomy.
I too will dismantle the tree today and give everywhere a good clean. I will miss the lights, so may keep some over the fireplace. We will have roast beef and all the trimmings later.
I hope you all enjoy this first day of 2024.

Good morning & a Happy New Year to everyone. A quiet day yesterday, a quiet evening & early to bed. My neighbourhood is definitely not Party Central. No plans for today except the need to get out for some fresh air & exercise.
Happy anniversary & Congratulations Thorntrees. It's 53 years tomorrow for us.

Happy New Year every one, loving the photos. I feel a little like your friend RosiesMaw! Watching Britain's Favourite Walks at the moment so am feeling inspired to do something about it!
Love and peace for the coming year every one x

Good morning everyone a happy new year my gn friends from the east coast of Fife where it’s a very cold and foggy start to the day.
The steak pie is in the fridge the mashed potatoes, mashed turnip and carrots are all ready to heat up for dinner tonight with the lovely cousins who have been coming for over 40yrs on Hogmanay staying over for one night, 2 of us were on the non alcoholic drinks one on the whisky (not me) 🥴

Hope you’re new year is a memorable one, love to all ❤️

Good morning from a dry looking Suffolk with love and very best wishes for a happy and healthy 2024 for all.

Apart from a phone call from DD1 who was taking DGD2 to a sleepover at her friends and several WhatsApps, last night was the usual evening of a lovely meal,a bit of tv and bed by 11pm.

We did reminisce about a New Year we spent in India many years ago when we were staying in a heritage hotel in Jaipur. There was a lavish buffet in the grounds with music from an island in the lake. The thing that we always remember and laugh about was the label on the plates of profiteroles……” prophet rolls”.!

Good morning and happy new year from North Yorkshire. A lovely pink sunrise to start the year.
DD2 will go home today after we have the decorations back in the loft!
Have a good day everyone

Pants how wonderful to see you posting! 😘

Congratulations to Mr and Mrs Thorntrees!

Morning from a dry S Hants, Christmas was cleared away yesterday and the New Year ushered in, lots of fireworks here, we stood out to watch them.
A little cleaning to do, wrap my son’s birthday present and I’ll have a walk. We’re meeting him and his partner out tonight for burgers, he’s 33 tomorrow, crumbs!
Happy anniversary Thorntrees enjoy your reminiscing.
🦩🦩

Good Morning from a bright Co Armagh, it’s chilly here , but that’s because my heating stopped working yesterday!
Happy New Year Mick and all the posters j

Good morning and Happy New Year !
Not the best start as I have a hacking cough and have woken with what I presume is an eye infection. So will have to see if there is a chemist open to get some drops or similar .
Otherwise a quiet day for us.
Wishing you all a good start to this new day, week and month and year.

Good morning Mick, morning all from South Lanarkshire where it’s not actually raining at the moment.

The ballet yesterday was excellent, the adaptation of the story was clever and funny, the costumes beautiful and the dancing superb. Loved every minute.

We saw in the New Year together for the fiftieth time and were so very grateful for the privilege.

Both children and their families coming today.

Wishing you all a guid New Year.

Good morning and a Happy and healthy New Year to you all. We stayed up as little pooch was a bit fearful of the bangs. Quite a lot around here. 🎇🎆

Sds1 came and helped take down lights and decs and put them all back in the loft. Such a help! He stayed for coffee (usually dashes off) and we had a lovely long chat. We started jokingly talking about when we ‘pop our clogs’ and he got emotional and said ‘I will be very sad’. 😥. Oh dear! We cheered ourselves up and had a laugh before he left, taking two bags of compost with him 🤣. He’s more than welcome 😇.

Today I’m going to clear out our little room downstairs which holds coats, hats, scarves, toys, craft , dog basket, art stuff , books and much more. It needs a good sort out!

Nice to see you Bellasnanna. How are those twins?

Happy anniversary Thorntrees. We’re 52 yrs also,

Take care all and enjoy the day.

It’s actually not raining which makes a change, so all the people with plans for a walk will at least be dry though underfoot is another thing entirely.

I didn’t bother to stay up and will celebrate new year by dealing with the last of the bedding used by Christmas visitors. Christmas decorations, very modest, will come down later in the week, and then normal life can be resumed.

A happy new year to all GNers.
