Day 1727 Happy New Year 2025 (can you actually believe it?!)

How is it 2025 already?!?

This is the first thing I saw online from Coffee & Quotes! boom… drops mic, says it all.

We had the one of the loveliest Hogmanays.

We stayed in and I went to bed after 11pm and read my book. 👇🏼

It was just the best. I would go so far as to say I “hate” Hogmanay…. Now that is a strong word so I know it means way more about me than it does about Hogmanay!!

There is something about the whole day that wears me down. The pressure that I “HAVE” to celebrate. I “HAVE” to stay awake until midnight… my worst nightmare. I am the early bird who loves and early night and this day expects a lot from me.

We decided early on that we would most likely stay in. The pub next door a big thing on New Years’ Day so we will head in there later.

So I’m already happy that I get to stay home. That’s a start.

I had my red jammies on which is apparently good luck in Italy on New Years Eve!

Who knew and yet I did it so that’s lots of luck for my New Year.

So yeah I was actually in bed and slept right through the bells.

This is what I was trying to say last night. Donna Ashworth hits the nail on the head.

And a Happy New Year from the Waverley, my favourite ship!! 🚢 (although after my last sailing I’m nervous to book this year 😆, I still highly recommend it for a trip this year)

A lovely message from the Law of Attraction.

This year will be difficult for so many of us. It will not all be sweetness and light but this life is what we make it. We get to choose how we respond to everything that life throws at us. I am writing this as much for me as I am for anyone else.

I love the thought behind this next one.

So my day today was dogs walks first thing. It felt like everyone else was in bed and we saw no-one, I love that.

We sat about this morning and looked for mini breaks!

Then at 12.45 we headed into the village pub and met up with all the neighbours.

It was the loveliest afternoon. Though if I drink any more alcohol free for the rest of my life, it will be too soon!!!

I’ve had a lovely afternoon. Lots of chat but I really enjoyed it.

I left early to pop the steak pie in the oven.

Check the size of this portion!!!

I hope you all had a lovely day.

I wish you a peaceful 2025.

Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️
