happy new year!

Happy New Year, everyone! I hope 2015 was good to you and that 2016 will be even better. As much as I love Christmas (L says I don't love Christmas, I just love tinsel, but he exaggerates - although I do also love tinsel), I might like Jan. 1 more. There's a quote (which might be from Anne of Green Gables, which strikes me as odd because I've never read it so how do I know the quote? but anyhow) that says "Tomorrow is always fresh with no mistakes in it."

Well, today the whole year is fresh with no mistakes in it, and that's a nice feeling.

Last night, Mycroft took us all to Kew, which was lit up for the holidays... (all pictures by L)






Lights, carol-singing holly bushes, fountain light shows, fire lanterns, hot chocolate and toasted marshmallows...it was great. Excellent way to end the year. 

This morning we went for a run, which I've done on probably most New Years Days of my adult life, but I must say it's much more pleasant without a hangover. I recommend it - not having a hangover, that is. Not necessarily the running.
