We wander over to Queen Street, grab some brunch from Greggs, and ride the train one hour between Glasgow and Edinburgh. It’s New Years Eve, and if you’re heading to Edinburgh on this day it means only one thing – Hogmanay. Celebrations range from markets to concerts and from street festivals to traditional dances. There’s no place more exciting in the UK on December 31st.
A first for a brand New Year! Video footage of my back garden! And not just any video footage – a record of why New Years events all over the north of the UK were cancelled at the last minute. Edinburgh, Glasgow, Newcastle, Liverpool, Belfast – all gone. It’s not surprising therefore that I ended up just staying indoors this year. Who wants to be in a club or bar anyway?
A dark, ghostly kind of day, down by the desolate, person-less Irish sea coast of the Ards Peninsula 2 days into the New Year - it was oddly beautiful. On a lighter topic, I spent New Years achieving the highest score in a Karaoke contest to Keane’s – Somewhere only we know. I don’t know which image is more haunting. For a further comparison, see below.
A very weird night, ending what was a very strange year. But just like the year, it was, overall, bizarrely alright. It may have looked to be taking a turn for disaster at one or two points, but in actual fact, everything turned out quite fine. Now the burning question: What will my entry a year from now be like? We’ll just have to wait and see.
Ah, the Limelight New Years Eve Party of 2003 – 2 rooms, 2 DJ’s and a night of unforeseen revelations, occurences, people, music and strange test tube shots that nobody really benefited from. A whole year summed up in one night. And as midnight came – it didn’t get much better. Sing me to sleep. And above you can see the original ticket stub.
