Grown up

Usually to bring in the new year, we meet lots of friends. Armed with enough wine and beer to get the whole of edinburgh drunk. And food. Vast quantities of food.

This year, we were altogether more grown up. Not by design, but it worked out nice in the end. Some good red wine. Some beer. A roaring fire. Some un-nibbled nibbles... (the all you can eat buffet at Pizza Hut earlier in the afternoon took a proper hammering!!!)

The CEO was in bed by eight. The neighbours joined us for an hour or so. Tucked up with just a mild case of hic-ups by 1.30. If this is what growing old is all about, then, as long as the fire is warm, the red wine plentiful then it's not so bad.

Hope 2013 is filled with happiness, laughter and the odd bottle or two of nice red!
