HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE AND MAY IT BE KIND AND PEACEFUL.

OUR CELEBRATION LAST NIGHT WAS THE FIRST WITH OUR FRENCH NEIGHBOURS AND IT WAS AMAZING.

WE STARTED AT 7 WITH APPERITIFS (EXCEPT FOR ME AS THE DRIVER <img src='style_emoticons//mad.gif’ border=’0′ style=’vertical-align:middle’ alt=’mad.gif’ /> )
AND THE FIRST PLATTERS OF NIBBLES CAME OUT. CAVIAR, WAFER THIN HAM, SPICY SAUSAGE, PASTRIES WITH ALL SORTS OF FILLINGS <img src='style_emoticons//smile.gif’ border=’0′ style=’vertical-align:middle’ alt=’smile.gif’ />

NEXT COURSE ARRIVED AND IT WAS FOIE GRAS, SMOKED SALMON, AVOCADO MAYONNAISE ALL SERVED WITH SWEET WHITE WINE (IMPORTANT FOR THE FOIE GRAS)

THEN OUT CAME THE OYSTERS, SOME COOKED WITH A CREME FRESH AND CURRY SAUCE, TOPPED WITH GRATED CHEESE, THE OTHERS AU NATUREL. THIS WAS MY FIRST ATTEMPT AT OYSTERS SO THE CAMCORDER CAME OUT JUST IN CASE!!!!

OH MY GOODNESS IT'S MIDNIGHT, LOTS OF KISSING AND THEN THERE WAS AN ATTEMPT AT MASS MURDER WITH PARTY PEASHOOTER THINGS; I HAVE TO SAY THAT WHEN THEY GOT YOU IT WAS REALLY PAINFUL. I SPENT TWENTY MINUTES LOOKING FOR COVER OR HIDING BEHIND SOMEONE ELSE. WE ARE GOING TO PRACTICE READY FOR NEXT YEAR!!!!!

THE MAIN COURSE ARRIVED JUST BEFORE ONE, ROAST DUCK – DELICIOUS. SERVED WITH POTATOES, GREEN BEANS AND PEPPER SAUCE.

JUST WHEN YOU THINK ITS OVER, OUT COMES THE CHEESE AND SALAD – BY NOW THE ELASTICATED WAIST ON MY TROUSERS WAS PROVING A GOOD CHOICE <img src='style_emoticons//blink.gif’ border=’0′ style=’vertical-align:middle’ alt=’blink.gif’ />

OH MY GOODNESS IT'S TWO AND THE DESSERT ARRIVES!!!!!!!!!!!

THANKFULLY AFTER DESSERT WE ONLY HAD TO ENDURE COFFEE, NO MORE FOOD.

THINKING LONGINGLY OF MY NEW AND VERY COMFORTABLE BED OUT CAME THE CHAMPAGNE.

WELL I MUST GO NOW, WE HAVE TO GO TO SEE THE OTHER NEIGHBOURS FOR CHAMPAGNE LUNCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
