Auld Lang Syne

New years Eve in London is fabulous. For one thing there is no confusion over the New Years Eve/ Old years Eve thing we have in SA.

Everyone in London, and their visitors and family go to the Embankment to watch the fireworks.

This involves leaving at about 9pm to get on the tube, and then to find a place amongst the other 100 000 people who are there. (either side of the Embankment is fine, and then the rest of the million people are in Trafalgar Square and Piccadilly Circus) Cold cold cold......waiting waiting waiting...

And then...at 12 o' clock..Big Ben strikes..and the fireworks start!

The atmosphere..the gees.. the people!

Is fabulous.

I actually was watching on TV in my pyjamas in a warm flat on the couch.

But still...

Happy New Year!
