Another one bites the dust.

In my younger days, New Year in Gullane tended to go on all night, but it’s been a while since everyone gathered at our house for bacon rolls at 6:30. 2009 went out with something of a bang, though, a party of 20 at the golf club, and a glass of something afterwards, but no seriously late finish.

I gave up making New Year Resolutions a long time ago. Instead, for 2010, I have two wishes. One, may Dom and Frida’s baby arrive safely and on schedule. Two, may all of those with whom we brought in this new year be around to welcome the next, and may our Christmas card list remain unaltered.

To everyone who reads this, may the year bring you all for which you wish, and none of what you fear.
