Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!
Returned from London today after memorable New Year celebrations. When I said we'd be on the telly, I was presuming it would be when Big Ben struck 12, but that's not quite how it all worked out.
In an attempt to be super organised and beat the thronging masses, we went up to town early. After a stroll around the beautiful Thames side - (in the rain), a visit to Somerset House to take in the skating (in the rain), a (warm and dry) Italian meal and a further (absolutely drenching) stroll around Trafalgar Square, the thought of warmth and comfort back at our friend's place was just too strong to resist. So that's what we did. PSL went to bed at 10.30, and my buddy and me popped open the champagne and watched the stunning fireworks, and 'The Feeling 'playing live at Somerset House...from her lounge. Not exactly what we'd planned but we had a great laugh anyway. Can't decide if we made the best decision or were middle-aged losers.....and no...don't post your replies to that rhetorical question. Looking forward to our trip to Northumberland tomorrow with fellow ThirdSpacers.
