I think that is what made this year so special, simplicity!
New Year's Eve: The kids didn't last till midnight (although I didn't expect them to) so a glass of wine, a log fire and New Year's Eve the DVD it was. Corny in it's entirety but I loved every minute!! (my previous best was baked beans on toast al a carte)
New Year's Day: A sunrise, coffee and a note pad. Followed by a family walk on the beach and a hot chocolate to warm up with afterwards...I tell you what the pictures tell the story better.
Blue sky and sunshine we could be anywhere, right?

Sunbathing like this?? Um No!
Yep, that's more like it!
We splashed over the rivers in the sand
Spotted Nessie (although there was some debate about this one!)
Click on this one to see a bigger picture and you will realise that we definitely weren't in Kansas (yes it was a little windy)
Yummy warm up treats and a spot of me time, only a spot though....
Because Jessie showed up Yee Haw :-)
I hope your New Year transition was a magical as mine. What did you get up to?
Oh and I have discovered the joys of Jared Leto and 30 Seconds to Mars. I have loved everything I have heard, favourite so far being Hurricane, but had to share this....they have covered one of my all time favourite songs and did it justice :-) Plus the topic seemed to fit given our wander today!!
All as part of your Random Thursday's broadcast from Sleepy Joe, linking up with Larissa at Papa is a Preacher (head on over she is cool and loves hot chocolate as much as I do!)
