Happy New Year to all my readers. Many it give you everything you wish of it. SWMBO and I had a pleasantly quiet one. We saw off our final guests of the festive season and then went off to spend our Christmas vouchers. Shirts, shirts and shirts were my choice as, after many years, my favourites are wearing out.
We then hit the Red Fox for a late lunch and got home for Bridge of Spies, Joles
Holland and grand firework courtesy of our neighbours! I found out at my regular Christmas lunch that the son of my mate Bob is a regular in The Shrewsbury Lodge for New Year. What a small world.
The last few months have all been geared to my mother's 90th birthday. It was a rare chance to throw her a 'do' and also to have all four children together. We held it at Wallasey golf club who were excellent in their organisation and execution. The private dining room was ideal for the grand kids to charge round without mathering anybody.
It was a surprise for her and she was initially overwhelmed by it all but soon got into the swing of it.
So with that behind us we can start the clearing up process. Its a bit messy as the family cat hung itself on the decorations on Boxing Day and as SWMBO is such a traditionalist at this time of year, we can't cut it down until Epiphany. Ho,ho ho.

Happy birthday to your mum. We have Gill's dad's 90th this coming weekend. New Year for us was nearly a disaster when we did fireworks on the hill with the kids. John should have dug-in a big one but didn't and it fell over sending rockets whizzing our way, first experience of being under fire and we all scattered or hit the deck.
