Happy (White) New Year!




Happy New Year to everyone!


I hope 2010 is a wonderful year for you all, bringing health, happiness, lots of fun, and a bit of wealth too!




Here in Dublin, it's SNOWING!!!!! That has to be a good start to a year. Just about ten minutes to twelve, it started to bucket down, and we had about 4cm in a few minutes.


So we've just come in from a snowball fight on the green beside us! And that green is now adorned with 2 snowmen-believe me, that doesn't happen very often in Dublin.


I think this is just what the country needs at the moment- a fresh start, a clean slate, white and untarnished. And that peace, hope and freshness that an untarnished snowfall brings to the landscape. Here's to 2010!

  1. Oh, my! What a nice surprise for you! I know how much you longed for the snow. I understand how it can represent the New Year with all that promise. The stillness that descends on a city when it snows is pure heaven. Snow on New Year's Eve is even better than a white Christmas!
    Peace, however fleeting, is always a gift.
    May you have every blessing in 2010.

  4. Mimi, I popped in to wish you a Happy New Year. May your personal sun shine brightly in the coming months. Incidentally, I don't hold grudges for people who have snow... smiles.

  5. It snowed here heavily for a short time on the day before the Eve, Mimi! All the best for the New year for yourself and your country - my ancestor's home. :)

    I am so glad that you finally got your snow. It was a little late for Christmas, but at least you got to build a snowman for New Year's Eve!
