Happy New Year!

Sunday 1st January

Never ones to sit still, it was off to Highland Maryland (approx 2.5hrs drive) to stay with friends of old for New Year. For most of us it was the first visit to their new house which is on a truly spectacular scale - we were all a little bit jealous (especially of the beds / tables /chairs.....). They treated us to a brunch party with friends of theirs where we counted 27 Santa's decorating the house (Christmas trees aside), an eye-catching snowing tree decoration, fabulous food and all enjoyed good company - the tales from life working inside Apple were most entertaining. We also enjoyed finishing our friends Christmas jigsaw (sorry!), some paper aeroplane contests (thanks to T for sharing), a good walk and lots of game playing (in fact Blockus was at such a tricky juncture that we missed the Time Square ball drop - next year). Happy new year to everyone back in Blighty. We are missing you all, but looking forward to the exciting adventures this year will hold and to at least some of you coming across to share them with us (we certainly didn't expect this one at the start of last year).
