Good morning from Glasgow. It’s raining again!

A quiet relaxing day ahead but never boring as I please myself with choices of whatever I feel like doing.

Wishing all a happy, good health and contentment for a new year ahead and strength to those who will continue with worries and struggles.

Good morning from a almost sunny Black Counry, with a bright blue sky.

Didn't wake up until 9am, as we watched Jools and didn't get to bed until 1am!

Plan today is taking down all the decorations and having the house to a semblance of normality. Hopefully also manage a walk, perhaps go to Clent Hills.

Happy Anniversary to the Thorntrees flowers

Wishing you all a very happy and healthy 2024

Happy new year from Manchester. Watched the fireworks in Sydney, Hong Kong, Dubai and then London,

Its a typical damp and chilly Manchester day so far as I can see on the cctv and I have no intention of going outside to find out. I should read the meters but I cant be bothered. Tomorrow is another day.

Im glad all the stress and hassle is over for another year,

Good morning Mick and all from cloudy Lancashire, currently 6°C.

The only item on the agenda today is a walk down to the river to pay my respects and blow away the cobwebs.

Wishing you all Happy New Year 🌹

Good morning and a Happy New Year to you all from Polmont where it's currently 5° and bright. It's lovely to see Pantsglas and Bellasnonna popping in as well as others.
I finished all the cleaning last night for the New Year. It's an old superstition installed by my mum and I can't not have a clean house with nothing in the washing basket.
Today I'm going to my aunt and uncle's house for New Year's dinner. I expect it will be steak pie which I love. It's a change from the usual practice because in the past I would have had the family. However the years roll on and things change. The rest of the day will be quiet. Have a good New Year's Day all. May 2024 bring peace and happiness.

Good Morning everyone, another reader here from a currently dry Leicestershire! Happy New Year. We had a lovely meal out yesterday to celebrate DD's birthday. All the family together 2 adored GC. DS and DDIL travelling home today or tomorrow. House still looks like a bomb has hit it! and no washing allowed today. Heyho, that's tomorrow sorted...maybe.

Happy New Year to you lovely good morning friends. Wishing you all you wish yourselves

Good morning and a very happy new year to all. I’m afraid I’m starting the year much as I finished last year, totally disorganised and ‘behind the coo’s tail’ so I’ll just send my very very best wishes for a decent year for us all, strength when we need it and happiness where we can find it.
Thanks to everyone for sharing their lives and enriching mine, God Bless, xx

Good morning everyone from a sunny south Manchester. We have 7°c according to Alexa. Let’s hope 2024 is kind to us all. Life can be very tough at times.

No Matt.

Soggy Somerset would like to share that clear sky grandmafrench. If you could kindly send some we’d be grateful smile. Or maybe down the motorway from Manchester urms. The grey skies are getting tedious now. We’re keeping smiling though. What else is there to do?

Happy anniversary to Mr and Mrs Thorntrees. Enjoy your special day.

Happy New Year Mick and All. It's a glorious day here on the Angus coast - blue sky, blue sea and sunlit hills. What a wonderful start to a new year.
Lovely to hear from Malta again Bellasnonna - we were posted there in the early 70s for nearly four years and loved it.
Happy anniversary to the Thorntrees.
Great to see you too again Pantglas - I well remember your chamberpot of tea each morning!
That's my favourite photo on here Mizuna - so carefree and joyful!
I went out last night to let the Old Year out and then came round to the other side of the house to let the New Year in. There were firework displays for miles around and the four ships in the little port hooted for a good five minutes - so traditional and lovely.
Today I think I will treat myself to bacon and eggs for brunch, and there's traditional steak pie for later. In between time I know not what - but it will certainly involve just sitting here enjoying the view and also watching the sparrows and coal tits enjoying themselves at the bird table.
Wishing you all health, happiness and contentment for 2024 x

Happy new year to all from Sunnyside northwest coast where I might take myself off for a ‘health’ walk in the sunshine into the dunes at the bottom of the road.

I took a birthday present round to my long standing friend yesterday but she was not at all well and her daughter had stayed and was thinking of taking her to hospital, so I hope to find out today how she is.
I had a quiet evening in, which I appreciated after having visitors for over a week and did some mending which I find therapeutic. Plus a voice warm up in the morning as the music club starts again tomorrow.
Welcome back Pantglas happy anniversary thorntrees and thoughts to all gransnetters 🌺

Good morning and a very happy new year. Sunny and dry here for a change but I can see the flooded fields from my house.

Bella23 Mon 01-Jan-24 11:53:38

Happy New Year to all from a very quiet Eden. Not even a dog walker venturing out. Lots of sore heads I should imagine as the village hall gathering was offering plenty of Booze to buy accompanied by the high lite of crisps and a few nuts. An offer that was easily refused.smile

Happy Anniversary to the Thorntrees flowers

A very late Happy New Year to all gransnetters.

Good morning and happy new year all.
Our new year's day brunch came with added entertainment - loony dookers! Hardy mad souls out for a swim at South Queensferry.
