More Firsts The first time in years that I was in Dublin for New Year and the first time since I was a teenager that I spent New Year’s Eve with my parents in their house (how square is that and they and all my aunts and uncles were drunker than I!)

Big news of New Year’s Eve, of course, was that MH’s big sis V had her baby – hurrah and congratulations to the New Parents, aunts, uncles and grandparents!
