We welcomed the New Year at home, just the two of us, but yesterday we had a busy day out.

First stop was Balans, on Old Compton Street for breakfast. For most of the meal we were the only customers! This place - in the 'gay village' - is usually buzzing but yesterday was a strange day, with many people off work.

The party at Lynne and Jennifer's was great fun!
We got home early (at around 1:30 am) but all the others (apart from pregnant Briar who went home just after midnight) stayed up until 4 am.
Jennifer is Scottish and 2 of her brothers were there with a nephew; the Scots are famous for their Hogmanay celebrations, and they did not disappoint!!
