Happy New Year

Happy New Year everyone wherever you may be in the world. I spent my New Year at home in Argentina with my wife's family. It was a low key get together which was nice. For me New Year celebrations are a bit hit and miss so I prefer to be in control of it and spend it with people I really want to be with. To go out whether it be a pub, club or restaurant you need to pre buy a ticket which forces you to stay in one place, apparently for your benefit which is obviously a ploy to take all of your money. You are squeezed in to a packed room of strangers and end up fighting your way to and from the bar all night because there was a problem with staff shortages through unexpected illnesses. What ever was the problem with partying with friends at home? New Year is a time to be with loved ones but for me being 10000 miles away from most of the people I know made me think of the people I left behind in England: My Dad, my best friends Lee, Dan, Hannah & Lilia, my Aunties, Uncles and Cousins. The ones from Spain: the new families from antenatal, Bianca, Erwin & Marlon, Pilar & Eddy. My Mum, Sister and the Boys in Canada. From Gibraltar the crew from 888 and everyone else I know I wish you all the best for the New Year and the New Decade.
