I hate Christmas, people start getting all jolly and friendly, worse than smelling of dog, smells of bulls**t.
Bring back the 364 days of miserable despair and hopelessness............I don't like change!!

........that time of year again tomorrow.
So it's down to Whitby, as last NYE, to see if I can see the last sunset of the year.
Regardless of where I may be, I always make an effort to be on a coastline for the last sunset of the year.
Best regards to ALL. Be well, be happy, shoot a roll of film.........

I know I've been a little absent this year, but can I wish all a very happy new year?
I'm already on the beer and there will be wine and gin involved later as we eat our Chinese/Thai meal.
Lets look forward to another year and all the experiences that will bring.
Cheers!

The drive to Whitby was via the moors and the weather was superb. Then the clods arrived and the sun disappeared......
Whitby was packed with people! A strong, bitter cold wind was constant up at the abbey.
Disappointed?
Not at all.

Glad you had a good trip Gary. Did you stay long enough to see the aurora?
Apart from the usual cacophony of fireworks we had a quiet night, watching telly. There was an excellent documentary on Dutch TV about backing singers, It won an Oscar apparently. It passed the time nicely, and after midnight we watched Jools Holland, who had a better line up than he has for years.
We stayed up until that finished, His Nibs sipping the Penderyn whisky he got for Christmas.
The dog refused to go outside until all was quiet - at 3.30 when he woke us up.
Happy New Year and let's aim pointlessly onward to 1300 pages .

Didn't know about the Aurora Gwyn but as the clouds rolled in I'm not sure it would have been possible from Whitby. Normally home by 6pm to get ready for the rest of the evening. As you, we watched Jools Holland, superb show.
Weather overcast here at the moment.
Happy New Year.

Code red in the northern provinces here - people are skating on the streets, after freezing rain has turned the roads into ice rinks. Schools closed, hospitals have cancelled appointments and so on.
We may get some of it tomorrow mornng too, the one morning this week when we have to be out and about early, of course.
Milder weather due to return on Thursday.

New subject!
Just to make of you steam train fanatics jealous.
Now the flying Scotsman is back in steam I thought you might like to know.
As a small boy back in the early 40's I travelled on trains pulled by said engine travelling south out of Newcastle. I also got to stand on the footplate while it was standing in the station. I would think most adults who travelled on it then are dead and not many kids my age (77) who travelled on it are still around.
CHEERS Vic.

Vic, why not try and arrange to revisit and tread the plates once more? It might even make a publicity shot for your local paper, and at the very least you could post a picture here!
Best regards, John

John. As you no doubt know I now live in Kettering Northants. Plus we stopped having a daily paper approx. 3--4 years ago. The weekly one that replaced it is useless and all the news is old news.
Not to worry though I still have happy memories. I know we had to change trains somewhere down the line as we were going to my Grampys in Deddington and the nearest station was Banbury.
You see I'm half Geordie and half Oxford country bumpkin.
CHEERS Vic.
PS Has anybody else on here been on the "Scotsman" back in the day??????????????
