Happy Hogmanay!!!

They are predicting a ‘perfect’ night in Edinburgh for the annual pilgrimage that sees tens of thousands of party hungry folk head to Princess St. to see in the new year.

That means bloody freezing, a light wind to add to the freeze, but thankfully no rain or snow.

I haven’t done the street party since 2000, but at the tender age of 32, a civilised dinner in N8 with lashings of vin rouge, gin, and champers is a tad more appealing…

I hope you all have a wonderful new year whatever you are doing, and the very best wishes to you and your loved ones in 2010 and beyond.
