Happy New 2006
We are usually boringly unsociable on New Year’s Eve, but this year we travelled to Shropshire for the New Year’s Eve wedding of some friends of ours. We decided to make a couple of days of it, and stayed in a very grand Bed and Breakfast place on the Estate where the wedding was being held. This isn’t the kind of Estate that we are used to (with tower blocks and urban decay), but the big, posh kind with avenues of trees, grazing sheep, a huge house and acres of farmland. We live right next to a fairly busy main road, so we’re never without the growl and roar of traffic, but for two days, the silence was only broken by pheasants, sheep and calling crows.
