May I wish all us old farts a happy new year.

Piddling down and will be for the day.

FIREWORKS!!!
I know we say this every year but they were soooo loud last night.

Heard them for a while here too.

All the years I have lived here and I have still never gone to the next village to see the flambeaux parade they do there. This was from last night that was on Facebook.

Morning all

Happy New Year to all of our readers.
Went to bed at 11pm and slept through to 7am - never heard a thing.
Off out at 9.30 to Minehead.

There was bagpipes too but not sure the video link would work on here.

Cooooee. We have had heavy torrential rain all night. We had a power cut as well and now we have thunder and lightning to go with the rain.

No fireworks here. People round her have more sense.

Stay safe peeps

And now we have had Hail added to the mix as well

Hello! Your starter for 10: "It runs downhill on its own" Happy New Year? How about Dry New Year? It's friggin' raining.........hard........again.

A good time was had by all at the village party. Lots of small people there who behaved very well. We had an early NY at 10.00 so small people could have the fun before going home to bed. Good idea or con trick?? 🤔 🤣 There were party games, the club doesn't have enough chairs, no dancing I'm delighted to report.........I had one glass of prosecco, this has proved an excellent plan.

Today? Rovers are home. I'm not excited.
