HAPPY NEW YEAR, 2018
HAPPY NEW YEAR, one and all.
Yes, the first of January, 2018, has just arrived out here in antipodean New Zealand, so you won't have to wait too much longer for your new year.
Have a safe, healthy, happy 2018.

Re: HAPPY NEW YEAR, 2018
Little New Year -
Oh, Little New Year, we are glad you have come,
You'll bring us the snowdrop and crocus again,
You'll bring us the bee and the blossoming tree,
The high winds in March and the soft April rain.
You'll bring us the daffodils bright as the sun,
The swallow, the cuckoo, the nightingale shy,
The tulips in May, the white hawthorn spray,
And over them all, the blue of the sky.
Oh, Little New Year, you are welcome indeed,
You'll tell every robin and blackbird to sing,
And all the day long we'll hear in their song
the promise of sunshiny days in the spring!
(The Enid Blyton Poetry book)
'Oh voice of Spring of Youth
hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'

Re: HAPPY NEW YEAR, 2018
Its a gloomy start to 2018 in Birmingham! Hopefully the weather will improve as the year goes on!! I also have my dad's cold - which he caught from my sister on Christmas Eve - she's so generous! Great way to start the year...but then I should count myself lucky as I haven't had a cold for two years!
Hope everyone has a lovely year to come.

After a dull start the sun is shining here in North Staffordshire, but I hear it is pouring down in Kent.
