Welcome to 2012 in Scarborough! I hope you all have the best year ever! I've always preferred years with even numbers for some strange reason. Had a great night last night watching all the fireworks from the top of the hill, we were torn between real life fireworks and the ones exploding out of Big Ben on the tv!as usual it was straight to bed, finished my book ,a rather racy regency novel, and then  Miss Bee decided to get up at 2pm ! aargh! Theo got up as well but we sent mummy Hannah back to bed as she has tonsilitis (I'm sure they could get into the Guiness Book of World Records;they are huge) so finally got her back to bed and then have just been woken up by people coming up the hill revelling, tut tut, what bad manners, I muttered to Mr Slade, then blow me they came into our house! yes you've guessed it, Emilie and the dancing divas! having finished their three gigs last night and then dancing the night away they came back here to continue the party! so of course have had the first major screaming fit of the year 'stop shouting/lieing on the pool table/playing loud music;you'll wake the baby!!!!'  They've made me a cup of tea to calm my nerves, I feel like Mrs Bennet flapping around in her nightclothes, oh reader, how my new years eves ( is there one too many sss's there?) have changed!!!
