Old ... rubbish.... out with the ....




and for 2008:



These new year resolutions are tied on the fences of a primary school nearby. A few words are visible, including "stop wor(r)ying", friends, and a few references to stopping bullying.




All of which sound like pretty good aims.



Foodwise, we began the New Year as, no doubt, we will continue, with an inspired menu choice by M., excellently well prepared, beautifully presented and speedily disposed of.




I kept listening out for the arrival of Desperate Dan but sadly he was a no-show.

We did eat a few sprouts too as a gesture towards healthy eating.

No matter how good or bad the old year was for you, I wish you better by far for the new year.

And to those of you who have tied and held ribbons of resolution on my behalf in the past year, when its so often been beyond me - Thankyou beyond words.
