Happy New Year to all.on this wet Lincolnshire morning,we stayed in last night,mainly because there's no place to go other than the pub in the village,around 2 miles each way,which at a push could be done on foot except there are no footpaths and no speed limit on the roads, and the added hazard of no street lighting,we could have gone by car but then one of us has to drink pop,which is ridiculously priced and not good to drink.
So like Montana Mike we spent the night watching tv,and went to bed before midnight,and the new year dawned just the same.
I think all the turkeys and geese will be feeling quite contented,until easter at least,there still seem lots of pheasants around,and the 5kilo bag of daffodils Sheila brought home one day are in the main shooting up ,some around 4 inches high(the eec can do their own metric conversion on that).
Mrs Farmer Joe is suffering with a head cold,and is also baby sitting ,and probably making a cake for Farmer Joe!!
Spoke to Mrs Broccoli on the phone yesterday and she is still hyped up about being able to go out in "betsy" on her own,she drove all the way to Boston and back and is really proud,I think she will take all year to come down from this high,Betsy is her Fiat cinquecento which I am trying to teach her to pronounce properly but it is'nt easy,she threatened to drive round for a cuppa tea(this has to be said in a brummy accent for full effect)so we expect her at any time.
Sheila is on the phone to her auntie Louie which could be a very long job,luckily we have a deal with bt re the phone,I am" eariwiggin" the conversation as I type this ,and now they are singing to each other down the phone?? at that I will say Happy New Year ,and buon anno.
ps . eariwiggin is broccoli speak for earwigging.

Rang Mrs Broccoli to thank her for my card and flowers, she says Betsy is beautiful and will bring her to see me, but the weather is not good at the moment and Betsy would get dirty.!! Happy New Year to you both.
Staying at home is a good choice. Pop is poisonous as well.
