[…] we did luck out food-wise on New Year’s Day. After our mammoth cooking session at Dreamcatchers on NYE, and subsequent dancing to Jools Holland on the telly activity, there was basically zero chance that […]

I thought it was just me who was a NYE party pooper so this is all very reassuring . I finally realised I was happier not partying when we got our old dog who detested fireworks & it forced us to stay home & comfort her . She’s gone now & the new dogs are fine but it seems to suit us . We do prepare a little by saving a good TV series & settling down in front of the fire with some decent wine ( & chocolates )- this year was series 3 of The Killing which we finished off the next day . I can recommend it as a way to spend NYE .

Happy New Year Sasha! I loved seeing your photos on Instagram.

We stayed in London but went for a quiet dinner and then walked into RIchmond Park to watch the fireworks over London which yet again was pretty special. Here’s to a great year ahead.

I couldn’t agree more about big NYE nights out — always an overpriced let down! I think its that un-mentioned pressure you ‘have’ to enjoy yourself! I spent this new years at a lovely pub right on the river hamble in hampshire (the jolly sailor) with a small group of my very best friends (lovely food as well) and it was perfect.

Happy New Year LLG! Your take on NYE is so refreshing to me, I still recall your great post about last year's NYE and was so impressed that someone so influential was happy to admit staying in and reading a book! It is brilliant that you don't feel the need to be seen at the 'right' parties doing the usual old NYE thing. And I think this post on this NYE sounds like it was just the loveliest evening too! Proof indeed that you don't need to follow the crowd to have a fabulous time. Personally I have never understood why people think they need to go out on the town or lumber off to parties where they don't know anyone - just to be seen or to at least be able to 'prove' to others what a 'fabulous' time they had - just because they were there. I have only gone out once in London in my 12 years in this great city - and I swore NEVER AGAIN. It was the worst NYE of my life. Personal favourites have been alcohol free with Berbers in the Sahara, cocktails for two at home with a man I truly loved (and still do - he's now my husband!), an amazing night in New York in a rented apartment with a big group of friends and sitting on a beach alone... I hope 2013 is a really wonderful year for you, keep raising the flag for everyone who likes to think for themselves because that's one of the things I enjoy most about your fabulous blog! xx
