Well wasn’t it just lovely?! We haven’t diaried in a while and we feel pretty bad about it, but CANDY POP has taken over our lives. Not that we are complaining! We weren’t together for NYE (sob) L spent it in London Town with THOSE fire works and C headed up to Edinburgh for Hogmanay. Never been before and it’s Charley Fox’s last year with the flat so we went all out - and the Scots know how NYE. Now, so do the geordies, so this was always going to be a real treat…

Little bit obsessed with Edinburgh and it’s history and it’s buildings and it’s castle and it’s GHOSTS (us, ghosts, nooo!) I have no new facts to report - turns out that i know a fair bit about the local legendary dogs, underground city, famous ghouls and the insane Earl of Drumlanrig (you know the one who roasted a servant boy on a spit and ate him the say the Act of Union was signed. Yep, grim) that i was able to pretty much talk at Lauren constantly for the full 3 days any way, which won’t surprise. … blush, geek! (she likes it man!)

Street party was amazing, and we did pretty well at all staying together until about 11:55 when me and Charley got lost. Didn’t see any bands because we were too busy conserning ourselves with… ummm… i’m not sure why we missed the bands to be honest. I can highly recommend it though, amazing atmosphere and it stayed relatively dry - not that we would have noticed I don’t think!

It’s just so bluddy pretty!!! I left my phone on charge so you’ll have to excuse the lovely crisp real-camera photographs. It’s not like us to publish such well executed photography on this page! I only managed shots in the Winter Wonderland and Currys… The world and his wife were Ed-bound it seemed; Camille dot music was there too, but you know how it goes on these occasions - our paths didn’t cross. Booo.

So there we have it, a full 3 days dedicated to celebrating the New Year, lots of drinking and lots of wrapping up warm and lots of walking. Obviously a load of CANDY POP too! As if we could forget! HAPPY NEW YEAR Balladeers, it’s going to be a SWEET TREAT!
