Berries

It was sunny this morning and so you get berries in sunshine.

I had wanted to do a Before and After of the Kurhaus - because normally the Bowling Green (it really is called the Bowling Green) is covered in empty bottles, old firework debris and tonnes of litter. Except this year it wasn't. It was pristine - like someone had hoovered it.

Which is in distinct contrast to our street which is covered in all sorts of dreck.

I've mentioned before that people go nuts for fireworks here. It's perfectly acceptable to go down to the street and set your fireowrks off there. And for quite a few people it's perfectly acceptable to set them up in the middle of the road. And everyone except car drivers accepts that throwing firecrackers under moving cars is absolutely fine...

What we both felt was that the whole midnight thing was distinctly low key in comparison to the last three. It was pretty much all over by 12:45.

As usual, we had no fireworks and just looked at other people's and reassured 2 cats that the world wasn't going to end. Oh and we had a bottle of bubbles too.
