new year's eve

media gallery / 2004 / new year's eve

we had planned to go up a mountain on new year's eve to watch the fireworks around england and wales but my mum had flu so we stayed home to eat and play games and at midnight di, kellie, sascha and i walked down to the seafront to watch the fireworks across wales. it was a good 20 minutes worth of entertainment. music was provided by the pub on the corner!
