New Year's Eve - we managed to stay up until midnight, pop a cork
and toast each other, family, friends and the hope of better days,
weeks and months ahead.
New Year's Day started with a healthy breakfast.
Garden birds, especially House sparrows are very busy this morning eating
at the feeders, then resting for a while on the bench.
It's cool, grey and dreary, and more rain coming later.
Planning to take indoor the decorations down today so must away
and get busy.
Hope you enjoyed your New Year's Evening. . . . and
today will be a good one.

ReplyDeleteYou are so kind Vee! Maybe in my next life?
DeleteHappy New Year Mary. We didnt stay up this year, but enjoyed a glass later today.
ReplyDeleteCheers dear friend xx
DeleteHappy New Year Mary!! I stayed up to this year. I had a quiet evening at home. I plan on blogging more this year, so I hope I hear from you! I hope 2021 is a great year for us all!!
ReplyDeleteWould enjoy future posts Sherri - may this year be a better one for all.
DeleteWhat an inviting corner. Happy New Year to you, too, Mary!
ReplyDeleteYou too dear - love your interesting posts and look forward to more this new year. Stay well ‘down under’ .
DeleteHappy New Year, dear Mary. Well done for staying up for some New Year cheer. I was shocked at myself for falling asleep at 10.30 to the din of neighbourhood gatherings, barking dogs and fireworks. Woke up some time later to total silence - it was already 1.00 am and I had missed the lot :) My excuse is I was tired from 10 days of little babies in the house, lol. How adorable are those little sparrows; we were only discussing today that we never see sparrows here any more, yet they were plentiful during our childhoods. I wonder what happened to them. xx
ReplyDeleteYour sparrows must have flown here - we have so many! Patricia you didn’t miss much as this time was so different - very quiet here except for the wood crackling on the hearth and champagne cork popping!
DeleteHappy New Year, dear Mary! The picture with the armchair, fire and glass of bubbly looks so inviting!
ReplyDeleteMeike dear -
DeleteWish you could have been here to toast what hopefully will be a better, safer new year!
Dear Mary,
ReplyDeleteEverything about your first photo is perfect...makes me happy to look at it. I manage to keeping up my spirits by making plans for 2021. That means travel and for the rest of the time I'm looking forward to receiving friends for Summer visits. Let's make sure that we stay healthy.
Happy New Year to you and Mr. B
We wish you could have shared our bubbly - but you were in our thoughts. Yes we too are making plans for Europe - praying it will happen - but also thinking of domestic journeys too!!!
DeleteHappy New Year! We stayed up with a quiet evening at home. My decorations are coming down today.
ReplyDeleteStay Safe
Hugs
Still working on packing away my decorations - didn’t realise I’d still put up so many despite cutting back, haha! Take care.
DeleteWishing you a wonderful 2021.
ReplyDeleteSending hugs dear Loree - stay well and have a happier year than what we’ve gone through.
