Happy New Year to one and all!
(in both Spanish and Portuguese)

Sitting up in the Portuguese youth hostel which lets us use it washing machine and dryer whilst Ed is on Rubaiyat on the Spanish pontoon. We are looking forward to celebrating two New Year's this evening, first in Spain, then in Portugal, the same time zone as UK.

As ever to back track a little, only by a week this time!
Of course we had a great time with Giles and Barnie, eating and drinking well. We celebrated as the locals do with our main meal on Christmas Eve, having been to Spanish Mass. We dined off partridges and other fine birds, a la Chef Ed.
