Good morning and a Happy New Year to all.
Mild here again, we have primroses flowering ( since early Dec).
A leisurely start, and meeting a group of friends for a special lunch later.

Good morning and Happy New Year.
We are off to Kew Gardens in London with 4 grandchildren. I am looking forward to a lovely morning.

Salutations and a very Happy New Year all GN's from a dreich, grey Aberdeenshire.
The lurgy has now descended to my chest so am taking copious drafts of Benylin...at least it sends me to sleep. Think I'll stay in bed for a while with my cuppie tea and a good book.
Am eager to see the Favourite too...Hope you enjoy it Maw Broon.
Have a peaceful day, all.

Good morning from sunny Colchester. Bright and mild here.
I too am nursing a cold and retired early last night with earplugs in. DH picked DS up from a party in the early hours so they are both still snoring happily.
Will rest today and try to get back to normal tomorrow.

Good morning and a Happy New Year. It is mild and quite bright here.
A day at home, DD and SIL coming for lunch.

Good evening everyone. We had another hot day here in Sydney.

Had nothing planned for today, but then unexpectedly got invited in to our new neighbour's New Year BBQ. It was lovely meeting them and their family properly. A lovely start to the new year.

Wishing everyone all the best for 2019

Bright here in the Scottish Borders.
A Happy New year to one and all.
We may go for a wander to the local stately home where they are offering a barbeque.
Or we might not!smile

Good morning all and a happy New Year.

After a night of carousing with the neighbours, I'm all partied out. The best part, Mr MD and I won the quiz!! grin
I came downstairs to have a quiet cuppa and just chill, to find DD up before me. That girl has talked non-stop for over an hour, so I've escaped back upstairs to catch up on GN.
A quiet day for us today.

Have a good day all.

Good morning all and a Happy New Year! Very grey but at least dry in Northampton.

Had an unexpected invitation yesterday to a neighbours for drinks and food to see the New Year in, so had a very late night in good company. Result - slept like a log till 7.45am!

MawBroon, don't want to rain on your parade, I should have been going to see 'The Favourite' at the Errol Flynn tomorrow, but they phoned me yesterday to say that the projection equipment had broken, and had cancelled Wednesday's screening. Money refunded, and I have rebooked for Saturday (using one of my free tickets). May now have a trip to Milton Keynes instead.

New Year's wishes to all, especially those who have suffered the loss of a loved one. I for one am glad to see the back of 2018, and will be thoroughly pleased to get DH'S first anniversary over and done with next month. Today I will open a bottle of fizz and raise a glass to him (which he would definitely approve of!), and remember the happy times.

Good morning, Happy New Year all. It's a beautiful morning in Somerset blue sky and sunshine. We are off to Stourhead for a walk soon. Hope everyone has a good day.

Bright, dry & mild here in west Yorkshire. Washing on the line, Christmas decorations down. Long walk with the dog & a catch up with a friend planned for this afternoon
Have a lovely day.

MawBroon Tue 01-Jan-19 10:12:16

Eek! I’ll have to look on the website- that would be a bummer! But today is Tuesday.......
Thank you for the heads-up.

@ninathenana. Glad to get a weather update as I’m stuck in WHH after having my appendix out yesterday. A big surprise. Lots of people have been mentioning helicopters overhead in the night and are guessing what has happened.

mumofmadboys Tue 01-Jan-19 10:20:08

Hope you feel better soon grannytotwins.
Just watching the concert from Vienna on BBC2
Happy and peaceful NY to all

Happy New Year to everyone. I’m just a visitor to this thread but enjoy reading your comments from around the U.K. it’s mild and sunny between clouds here in the SE.
Maw I enjoyed that song but was glad of the subtitles!

It was a beautiful start very early this morning on the Malvern Hills.
A Happy and Healthy New Year to all you lovely gransnetters?

Blwyddyn Newydd Dda/Happy New Year ?
It is mercifully dry here in South Wales after days of drizzle and sea mist. Made some leek and potato soup yesterday and going to finish off the rest of the cheese. Wishing everyone a lovely day whatever you're doing.

Morning all. A bit murky and damp in the East Midlands. Have felt a bit throaty over the last few days but it hasn't developed into anything worse yet so I'm hoping it goes away. Happy New Year to all.

oldgaijin Tue 01-Jan-19 10:49:41

Maw Broon, that was brilliant! Haven’t seen it in years and takes you back to the much loved White Heather Club.

angelic Tue 01-Jan-19 10:52:34

Happy and Healthy New Year to you all.
Bright and sunny in Hampshire.
Trying to get house back into some sort of order! Just taken down decorations.
Day of household chores I think, washing on line, another in machine.
