We watched ELTON JOHN in concert the music and piano playing was first class. ELTON JOHN finished up singing candle in the wind.The bells were ringing we were wishing one another a happy new year we had shortbread and currant bun followed with a small buffee. lol best not forget the FAMOUSE GROUSE WHISKEY. For me it was another scottish drink Irn Bru.Last year I had a health scare and finished up in hospital on Hugmannay with my heart so it was no alcohol just Irn Bru. our inlaws left at 3pm then it was off to bed.

seems like you had a great New Year Nancy! I like reading how you celebrated it too! different customs then we have, but some are similar; like the bells ringing; I've never lived anywhere where they've done that to welcome in the new year!

your menu for your family dinner sounded delicious too! so glad you had a chance to visit with those you loved to welcome in 2009!

happy new year!
