New Year’s Eve, and I spend most of my day looking at last-minute holiday bargains online. My mum gave me £1,000 for my birthday last year so that we could use it to go on holiday, and we just haven’t got around to doing anything about it as yet. We usually like to go somewhere warm for a week while the weather is cold in the UK – I don’t see the point in leaving behind the British summer, we might as well stay here and enjoy what little sunshine we do get! By the time I have finished browsing, we have narrowed our choices down to one or two resorts around the Red Sea in Egypt, so now all I have to do is find the best possible deal!
We are supposed to be setting in the new year with my wife’s sons and families, so we head over to Hevingham when were have had our dinner. By 10.30pm, most people have departed to put children to bed, and it feels like we are keeping people up! My wife and I return to Southrepps at 11pm, open a couple of beers and see 2018 in together.
