Had a few friends over (Selina, Anthony and Nigel) to celebrate New Year's, as there were fireworks planned at the London Eye. The night was freezing, so it was great to be able to enjoy ourselves inside while the crowds froze outside.
Anthony delighted (or disturbed) us with French delicacies such as foie gras and (as below) smoked goose flesh. Not great for us vegetarians, but Anthony seemed pleased with himself!
I contended myself with the finest Buckfast Abbey fortified tonic wine (with ice and mixers) while taking photos of the people outside. The whole street was packed like nothing I've ever seen before!
We wanted to go outside at midnight, but we couldn't even leave the building (people were pressed against the glass like zombies). Instead we managed to find a balcony where we could enjoy the show (though with a slightly restricted view).
These fireworks were seen in the news all around the world! (Well, New Zealand anyway.)
