The Harrison-Helins

No more champagne
And the fireworks are through
Here we are, me and you
Feeling lost and feeling blue
Its the end of the party
And the morning seems so grey
So unlike yesterday
Nows the time for us to say...

Happy new year
Happy new year

No, not that dramatic and tragic but our Aussie guests have now left for London and the house is empty and quiet all of the sudden. It feels kind of good to get back to normal life again. After this week of fun, laughter and excessive eating it is going to be nice to just kick back for a bit, get back to work and start planning for what is about to come.

What about your kick-ass New Years party, you ask? It was awesome! We had a great turnout, about 20 people, loads of food and drink, we had redecorated our living room to incorporate both a buffé-table and a dance floor/Guitar Hero stage for those who dared. Thanks to Gary for bringing us about 1,000,000 sandwiches from his shop! Most of us stayed in for the whole night and only went out for the fireworks at midnight and a few brave souls went out to other parties or to take a closer look at the street party, and for once they did not cancel the fireworks. Nice show, I must say!

It is definitely clear to us that we have a fab group of friends here in Scotland and all around the world and always a place to crash should we ever go to the southern hemisphere for instance. We have an idea in the back of our minds to do a joint anniversary trip with Jess & Bain in a few years when both our babies are old enough to travel a bit better and who knows, maybe we’ll go see all our friends in Brisbane?

Anyway, my wife has decided to learn how to knit for the baby so we are going to go supply-shopping now.
