Carmel, John and Jonothan

The 31st December, 2009; the great and mostly quite good gathered in a house somewhere in St Marychurch for a New Year hootenanny. Drink was drunk, pies and trifle were ate, lessons in the correct use of a wooden spoon as a karaoke microphone were given and a good time was had by all.

At midnight Auld Lang Syne rang tunelessly through the living room and we all watched fireworks from a small display in Torquay fart above the horizon.

And then we went home.
