Eye To The Telescope

All the neighbours have just been out under the showers of fireworks here. This is the first time we have seen anybody outside for New Year and I have to say it makes me feel quite a lot more optimistic than other years. As usual I got sent out just before midnight, with a little tray carrying bread, salt, a candle, money and two glasses of something warming. Not sure what it all means but you have to go along with these Northern traditions. Jules is on in the background – currently KT Tunstall – not the white-heather club but didn’t the BBC invent that in the 50s? Far better than Natasha Kaplunsky and Andrew “Andy” Marr on BeebieSee won.

Have a good one.
