Happy New Year 2014

What a wonderful, warm holiday season we've had! Lavish drinks parties, delicious meals and the company of our funny, beautiful, generous friends. We feel very spoiled and truly, truly lucky. Last night was the culmination, Lizzie and Ali's big New Year's Eve party for a mere 46 of us. It was also the debut of our folk trio, Peter, Paul and Gary. We managed to pull off our set of 7 numbers in front of a very supportive audience.

To clear the cobwebs today, an annual picnic at the beach. It was Henny's and my first time at this event, which apparently has been blessed by good weather 4 years out of 5. A great time was had, especially by Lily who ran around visiting lots of other dogs and was, hooray, perfectly behaved. We felt grateful and hopeful for this year to come. We wish you all good health and great happiness for 2014.
