Well folks, what a wonderful evening we have had. We had booked th tapas place a good month or so ago. It was a festive tapas extravaganza. We had a starter, eight different tapas each for the main and a choice for dessert. Followed with coffee and a beer afterwards to ring in the New Year.

Fact is, there was too much food and it all cam put at the same time. Would have preferred it more staggered and even with my appetite i started to flag towards the end. I ended up finishing most of the olives from the starter and we had way too much bread with the starter. I ate all the octopus tapas because nobody else really liked it except for Lesley. I then devoured two bowls of the potatos bravos.

Then finished it all off with cheese and biscuits Spanish style.

Washed down with red and white wine and a Spanish Estrella beer to see the chimes of midnight,
But great food. I was stuffed!

The crowd, left to right are,  me of course, my bro and his wife Rosalind, then Annie and Graeme, and georgina. Lesley arrived later (as usual).

And here is the wonderful selection of food we had. Lesley had arrived by then, extreme left in picture.

Note my multi-coloured Dr Who scarf in the first picture redolent of the Tom Baker years.

I have other pics to put up but i shall do that in the morning. We are going over to Eastbourne first and then i have two mystery shops to do in Brighton.

A lot more organised than us! =:D We (roomie/landlord/old Uni friend and I) just enjoyed a spread of beers, ciders, and wines (commencing with a Syrah I found in Waitrose, finishing with a Chateauneuf du Pape from him), and various munchables, including Waitrose's superb sausage rolls (not cheap, but they knock the socks off any other supermarket's), and various cheeses and meats on a particular bread I found in Waitrose, from Italy, made from durum wheat, with a very distinctive yellow color - it labels itself as perfect for toasting, and seriously, it's it. Perfect texture, real crunch on the bread and that lovely crust - it's what bread can and should be!

*cough* I.. like food. ^_^;

Not going over to Brighton first? Seems like that'd be the place - but then, tonight, maybe it'd be a bit too much so. =:/

Anyway, great to see you saw the year in in good spirit. ^_^

Happy New Year! Looks like you had a good time. Still have a few hours to go before we ring in the new year here and we are a house of sickness so not really celebrating this year.

Happy New Year! You guys had a great time! It's a pity the food wasn't a bit more staggered. I hope you didn't eat too much!
