Yesterday we celebrated the last day of 2011 with lunch at Berwick Lodge - a beautiful manor house with roaring fires and 15 acres of grounds for the children to run around in. We discovered beautiful outbuildings, empty fountains and a huge playhouse, but my favourite was the orchard where we played hide and seek, chase and kick the can. For the first time in 5 years we didn't stay at home during the evening and saw in 2012 at a friends house party which was fab!
We will be heading out for our traditional New Year's Day walk later. I love the start of the year - with the darkest part of winter left behind and the promise of warmer days ahead, the making of resolutions and the new, spotless calendar on the wall.
Happy New Year!
Happy new year to you and your family. Hope it's all you wish for.

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful sounding place. Having family traditions is so nice, we've been trying to start some of our own. I think it will come into it's own next year! Happy new year xx
