Happy New Year, Bring on 2014

What a fantastic way to see the year out... a blowout meal (10 courses!) at one of our favourite restaurants. We spun it out for a good four hours and got treated with a glass of champers when midnight struck.

One of the desserts (yes, plural) came with this squiggle that I *think* is supposed to say 2014 :-)

Anyway, indulge me while I look back on 2013 (with the help of Blipfoto, such a great aide-memoire):-

In 2013 I:

- worked in Vienna for half the year
- and London for the other half
- visited Berlin twice, Paris twice and Nice five times
- slept in my own bed now and again
- didn't get to spend anywhere near enough time with Ann...
- or Jasper...
- or my Pickering friends..
- bought a new car that I never actually drive
- never quite got round to losing weight and getting fit
- needed new glasses, now I have 'walkarounds' and 'readers' (bifocals next)
- started a part-time degree in photography
- bought and sold a lot of cameras (five? six?)
- uploaded a photo every single day :-)

It was fun looking back but I wouldn't want to relive it all. Bring on 2014...!

A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL MY BLIPPING BUDDIES! xxx
