New Year's Eve - Hogmanay
Posted: Tuesday, 03 January 2006 |

Nevertheless, I know it is one hell of a celebration lasting 2-3 days up here in Yell Shetland. 45 minutes before midnight, we had at least 15 folk visit our home not only to wish us a Happy New Year but also to welcome us to this beautiful island, with an offer to join our new neighbours after the midnight chimes.
I took off later with a few of I hope I can call my new friends to visit other homes in the area, and swallowed every drop of fine Scotch that came my way, not the thing to do I may add because by 5:30 am I was ready for going horizontal, next time yep, there will be a next time I'll know the score.
Hogmanay is an excuse to shake the hand of every man, kiss the cheek of every woman, drink good Scotch Whiskey, and generally have a good time with not an ounce of trouble. In the Midlands where I come from, there would have been tears and blood spilt within the first quarter hour of the year.
Boy am I glad I live here with my Wife and Daughter. (Just need a Job)
