Happy New Year 07!

As Maria (Grigoria’s sister) was unable to join us for Christmas in Greece, we decided to spend New Years Eve with her and her partner Alastair.

Some hours before midnight we headed to their place and enjoyed a great home cooked meal, in some ways it felt like Christmas all over again!

After the meal (and the odd glass of wine) Maria & Alastair prepared the ritual of retrieving the lucky coin. As it goes you hide a coin in the middle of a cake and then cut it into pieces for everyone, each person chooses a piece and one will discover they have it! Well after a second attempt I realised I had it! Let’s just hope the coin is true to the myth and it is a good year for me.

So as the clock drew close we

counted down to midnight and celebrated the New Year as the Big Ben bells chimed out.

Finally we hope that everyone had a good one with family / friends where ever you all are in the world and hope the New Year brings happiness to you all.
