Welcome 2012!!!

New Year's Eve was a hot one, so we had a bbq in the courtyard to say farewell to 2011.





My home-made banoffee pie!

We then headed into the city for the fireworks.  We found a great spot along the South Bank, near the Arts Centre where we were able to sit down for the wait, before the fireworks at midnight.





















































































Unfortunately, once the fireworks were finished, it became clear that the top of the Arts Centre was on fire!  It was only a small fire, but with so many people (1/2 million) there to see the fireworks, getting a fire truck to the fire meant that getting to the train station was slow work!




On New Year's Day it was lovely to be able to go for a swim in the sea at Hampton Beach, and then go to an old haunt in Brighton, the Groove Train, for dinner.

Happy New Year!!! x
