New Year
Well its a new year and the rain is falling and the wind is blowing... pretty much as expected according to the grib files. Well last night was something else. Leading up to midnight the explosions boomed on and the colours fell from the sky. Noisy and beautiful. Now there seems to be no restrictions on fireworks here, so the more money you spend the more you can light up the sky. Well we have seen in a few new years with firework displays but nothing absolutely nothing coulds compare with midnight here.... The sky erupted. You had to talk very loudly to someone next to you. Being in the middle of Spaanse Waters we had a good view. We were surrounded by some of the most spectacular displays we have ever seen. 360 Degrees of glowing sky. It went on for ages. For the first 30 min it was truly a jaw dropping expierence. At 1am it had toned down a little ...just a little and by 1.30 we finally gave up to go sleep. At four the rain arrived and the last of the die hards fell silent so we could have a quiet lie in. Hope that you all had a good time too.
