Another New Year to look forward to...

Thanks to Janet and Victor for hosting another memorable New Years Eve Party and for Paulet and Gavin and all their hard work. This year's theme was Mexican and I made a huge pot of chilli which was still warm when Gavin came by to pick us all up in the Kombi. He parked on our steep driveway, Ann and Michael climbed into the back seats and the van started sliding slowly downhill into the street, picking up speed as it went. Gavin had to place the pot of hot chilli on the floor of the van, jump into the  moving van and pull up the handbrake. It's a miracle there was not a hot pot of chilli spilled all over the van's carpets and that the van and Ann didn't end up in the bushes on the other side of the road! She really needed that Margarita when we got to the party. Once again we had the most amazing bonfire to sit around after midnight. By the time our local taxi arrived to cart us all home it was close to 3am!
