Sat.31st.Dec.
New years eve. Spent an hour or so searching for a restaurant where we could celebrate new year. All closed. Plan B was to get some lamb and Jan to cook lamb casserole but the butcher had no lamb. Reverted to plan C. Four good pork chops to grill on the barbecue. Bumped into Geert and Maria in the village, had a coffee and agreed that they would do the pudding and pickies and we would do the main. Fabulous clear bright day, warm sunshine, out of the wind. Great weather for walking. The evening came and we spent a very relaxing and agreeable time drinking, eating and chatting. Yahtzee was played, and I won. Great way to end 2011. Couldn't help thinking of friends who died in the last year, Peter Munro, John Sugden and Des from work. All great characters who can't be replaced. The year ended on a great note, retired, travelling as planned and with more of the same to look forward to in 2012, hope the warmer weather arrives soon, the tan's beginning to fade. Happy new year everyone.
