Bon Annee

The g1 and I hopped on the eurostar for nye in paris, which was, on reflection, probably a bad idea.

What did you all get up to for the new year? Any shots to post :angel:?

Anyway, not my best, more snappy snappy tourist than anything else but I thought I would share:

not that it matters much, but it's "bonne année", not "bon annee".
cheers and happy new year.

I could only wish that my touristy snappies looked so good. But then, Paris makes such an excellent backdrop, don't you think?

Our celebration was gentle - me and another winemaker friend, our families, crab legs and baguette dipped in butter with lemon, several bottles with bubbles in them. Then at midnight the toasts and kisses to the sound of cheering, rockets and gunfire filling our little valley. Someone up in the hills above us has a veritable canon that he fires off once a year - at New Years. I have come to expect it but it scares the cats.

Happy New Year to all!
