Happy New Year for 2020




Tomorrow brings a new year and a new decade for us down under tomorrow - I am working like many others are. Our town has been swamped with out of towners - the roads are chaotic, the shops are jam packed and there are traffic blockages. 

In the morning a few events are happening in local towns around us. In Warkworth there is the annual rodeo and in Waipu they have the Highland Games, which I haven't been to in about 10 years.  The sound of the bagpipes just melts my heart so I'll have to make do with some of my Scottish records.

Tonight we no doubt won't be staying up to see in the new year so a Happy New Year for 2020 for you :-)

Linking up with Our World Tuesday.

I love to hear the bagpipes. We have a marching band here in our small town. It's been a tradition since the days when we were founded in the early 1900s. - Margy
