Good morning from a rainy New Year in Cornwall, where my son has just come in from his taxi shift. My 14-year-old grandson and I watched the London fireworks; magnificent, but I did wonder about the gulls there, as they go berserk where I live when fireworks go off.

So here we are with another year ahead. Exciting. But for today I'll be sorting my workroom and planning which wood and concrete to keep and which to jettison.

The best of everything to you all. (It's a golden oldie photo, as many of you know, but one that's full of joy and that's what I wanted for today.)

Happy New Year from a windy West Oxfordshire.
I let the cats sleep on my bed last night in case of fireworks. There weren’t any and Milo and Ripley were delighted.
OH and I are having lunch out today at one of our favourite restaurants. They do Steak Diane, which I love.
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning and a Happy New Year Michael and all GNs! I didn’t stay up to see the New Year in and was asleep before my head hit the pillow so didn’t even hear the fireworks! DD and the menfolk came over for a roast dinner, which was very jolly, and DS face timed me in the evening. My DiL has covid and looks and sounds dreadful. No idea what’s on the cards today - will be weather dependent I think.
Have the best day you can folks.

Good morning, everyone , from Lancashire. Up early after dozing all evening yesterday, then lying awake most of the night.
I forgot to buy a calendar. Must put that right when the shops open.

Happy New Year and a good morning to you all.
It’s dry here in south Gloucestershire at the moment after yesterday’s torrential rain.
A quiet day ahead, suits me fine!
Have a lovely day 🌹

Happy New Year from an as yet dry Bristol. 🎇🥂🥳
Yesterday was quiet - I pottered , read and watched TV. My upstairs neighbour asked me round for a welcome cuppa.
I didn’t stay up to seethe New Year in, quite honestly, I’ve never seen the point. I heard some fireworks around 1030.
Today is empty, but I’m thinking of inviting the residents for tea and cakes in the afternoon.
May 2024 bring health, peace and contentment to you all.
Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩
