New Year Greetings To Our Friends Worldwide

we had a very pleasant evening out with my sisters yvonne and margaret at a hotel in the new forest. we saw the new year in and it was very satisfying to come out and look at a clear sky filled with stars with the relative loe level of light pollution a rsrity on our crowded little island and especially so in the evrn mote crowded south. it was a relstively lste night for us and we looked foerd to a nice lsy in but the hotel corridors rsttled to children running up and down at 7.30am but i managed to turn over abd grt more slerp. we met up with yvonne and graham and soent a sedate lunch at a delightful littlr cafe in lyndhurst which we had visitedbefire, none of thebig shoppping areas erre open new year day so a few of the smaller places must have picked up some trsde. we had our evening meal back at yvonnes and got back to the hotel around 11pm any hopes of catching up on tv absndoned as silence and a read seemed more the right thing. tomorroe we are joininh msrgaret and yvonne at the main shopping msll in southampton then later driving up to join more of the vincent family at chessington in surrey, bavk home saturday evebing and outstsnding orders eill be processed then . well check out the weather for next week asvthere are now several msjor bus locations coming up due for coversge
