Happy New Year to all of you lovely folk from the Robertson house. A chilled one here with the wife and (poorly) dog. Just had a nice chicken balti and then we have a charcuterie board for later. Bed by about 12:30 and trying not to be too boozy as I won’t hear the dog want to be out at 4am!
 
Home made bites, cheese and wine, watching Dawn of the Nugget (no not Beale <laugh> ) atm . then some channel hoping till midnight and the usual fireworks, then off to bed. Happy New year to all , and special thanks to Makem Tiz and all who have contributed for this enjoyable thread.
 
Penshaw originally, spent some time down south then settled in Washington when I returned.
I'm a Penshaw lad originally as well. Born in Avondale Avenue, then moved to the bottom end, Teesdale Avenue.....not far from the Bird in the Hand pub/Alpine pop factory.

Well it's 15 minutes till the fireworks start, thankfully our dog is flat out and isn't bothered by them.

Time to wish all who post on here and your familes a very Happy New Year, may 2024 be everything you wish it to be.

To those not here but never forgotten I will raise my glass in your memory
 
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And the days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll drink a cup of kindness yet
For the sake of auld lang syne
And surely you will buy your cup
And surely I'll buy mine!
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For the sake of auld lang syne
We two have paddled in the stream
From morning sun till night
The seas between us Lord and swell
Since the days of auld lang syne
For old acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind
Should old acquaintance be forgot
For the sake of auld lang syne?
For old acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind
Should old acquaintance be forgot
In the days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll drink a cup of kindness yet
For the sake of auld lang syne
