New Year’s Eve – a time of fire and feasting, reflecting on memories and pondering possibilities.

Nice fire lads, much appreciated

That probably weren’t meant to be “caught” with a rod and line.
The two distinguished looking chaps in the background I’ve known for 35 and 33 years respectively, about twice as long as the two nearest the camera have been alive. That sobering realisation occurred shortly before sobriety left the room.

Taking one for the team
And there’s a hand, my trusty friend!
And give us a hand of yours!
And we’ll take a deep draught of good-will
For long, long ago
Cheers chaps.
Yes – a lovely evening!
A few highlights for me – great to see Dale after a long time. The days of Dad’s camp are long gone now…
Having the boys there makes it all much more interesting. From Theo’s innovative, incendiary fishing techniques to some pretty imaginative acting from both during charades, the time flew to lights-out at 3 am.
A Christmas highlight for me – thanks Nick.
