New Year
Imelda, Sorcha and I welcomed in the New Year with a toast of non-alcoholic wine. My mother felt tired earlier in the evening and decided not to join us at our cottage. After about half-an-hour we went to bed and left Sorcha to watch a late night movie.

The following day we went to Jacinta and Nicky's house, in Athlone, for a New Year lunch. After a delicious meal and a few hours of socialising we left and another New Years Day had come and gone.
