Happy New Year


As we watched the mercury plunge to zero yesterday afternoon a collective decision was made to celebrate New Year's Eve indoors. Garry and I had friends around for a late-evening roast dinner and champagne. As midnight approached we gathered at our bedroom window to watch the distant London Eye come alive with New Year fireworks.

You can see the view in the photo above. We were close enough to see most of the action without having to brave freezing weather in one of the designated riverside viewing zones. We heard today that most viewing areas were full by 6pm with more than 400,000 people. Happy New Year from a bitterly cold London!
