We originally were planning to go to a friends house for NY Eve, but the said friends decided to not host anything at their house and instead to support the Red Lion pub down the road who were planning to have a band play and do a bit of a snazzy NYE thing. Sioned, JJ, Gwyds and of course Winnie have been staying with us, and it is so fun to have a full house.
So we did not want to stay out all night as we were taking Rhiannon to Heathrow early in the morning New Years Day for her 8 am flight. Yikes. So we had a nice dinner at home (chocolate chip chili again) and then headed down to the Red Lion for a bit. We had a good time and indeed saw a bunch of friends. The boys went round as a pack and sat outside for awhile even though it was pretty dang cold.
The next morning went to plan, with Rhodri and I driving Rhiannon to the airport on nearly empty roads (if only they were always this way!). We parked the car and walked her inside, got her checked in and then said goodbye at the security checkpoint section. Of course she can (and normally does) all of that on her own now that she is 18 (!!), but it was nice to maximize the minutes together with her. We don't have any photos from those moments although its not for lack of trying! ha
Anyway, we got back home and had a relaxing day.
In the afternoon, Tryfan's girlfriend Saskia came over and they made cookies together (so cute!)
So anyway, there we go! 2023 is over and here we go with 2024. Happy New Year one and all!
