We saw the New Year in at Mark and Helen's house, and it was a great way to end 2005 and start 2006. Helen said (and I think these were her words at the time) "I'll do a bit of food..." Three courses (soup, lamb shank, and chocolate sorbet) definitely counts as "some food" - it was superb! And we didn't even have to wash up for them!

Geoff and Heather were there (Geoff actually managing to escape from Russia for the Christmas break!), as were Zac and Rachel, with Gabriel and Caitlin.

It was slightly strange at midnight when me and Nikki suddenly realised that we were no longer having a baby next year but this year! The party poppers also seemed to shock junior a bit as he (or is it she?) started kicking! Sorry bump!

We have downloaded the pictures - but as ever I've not quite got round to uploading them to the web yet, but hopefully soon.

So, thank you Helen and Mark for organising our New Year's Eve for us - much appreciated!
