It was so overcast at 7.30 this morning that I thought it was much earlier. Still very dull but mild and moderate breeze.

Happy and healthy 2015 to everyone.

Morning all! I heard fireworks in my sleep. We have a deluge of rain this morning. I shall work on a temari.

Happy New Year all - thankfully the thaw yesterday cleared away all the snow and ice and although its dull and overcast so much better than all that greying mucky snow and treacherous ice. I have started 2015 with a cold and cleared away all the Christmas decorations and general paraphernalia. House all tidy, washing done , duck (from M & S ready prepared) for dinner.

White Rabbits, Good morning to you all, and Happy New Year. We have a very dull morning here on the coast, but no frost, and sleeping late has put all my plans for the day on hold. Enjoy your days

It is very dark here in NW London but it appears to be dry. Keep your fingers crossed that I can sell my old car today- my "new" car looks beautiful sitting outside. It was owned by somebody more elderly and decrepit than myself and she had managed to run up 1643 miles on the clock in 2 years!!!! It is a new car nicely run in for me.

Morning all and happy 2015! May it be prosperous and interesting smile

I couldn't believe my eyes reading on Twitter this morning that some parts of the UK may reach 15° today (e.g. Bude). A "balmy" start to the year (if like my husband you consider it warm once double figures are reached!)

Good morning and a Happy New Year to everyone. Raining and blowy here in Fife. Won't be venturing far today!

Good morning all and Happy New Tear to all. I am still lazily abed so can't give a weather report,just know it is dark. Dinner with ex DiL and her family today. So nice to keep the relationship alive and well.

Happy New Year everyone! smile

I'm cooking a late lunch for DD and family today so was in the kitchen making a lemon merinue at 7am (DsiL's favourite) and have just set DH to peeling potatoes. I made Antony Worrall Thompson's Christmas Casserole last night (and set the table) so it is just to heat up. For my darling vegetarian GD I've done roasted spiced butternut squash, with goats cheese to scatter on top when it's heated through. Hope it all goes down well!

The frost has gone thankfully but it's a bit gloomy and dank here on SE Hampshire coast. I hope all your days are peaceful, healthy and happy. sunshine

Good morning and Happy New Year to you all.

It's dull here in North Leicestershire!

I agree Brenda - another review and I'll scream too!!

Not much planned today except a bit of tidying.

Good morning to everyone and a Very Happy New Year.
Hopefully we will be able to get back to normal soon.
If I watch another Review of the Year I will scream!

Calm and dry and a bit warmer today.

Hope 2015 is kind to you all.

Happy new year to all fellow gransnetters, still pitch dark here but think it might be raining as cat has come in after his morning stroll looking very wet.
Hope everyone has a nice day.
