Marking the new year in the west country

My last few days 2008 and the first couple in '09 were spent in the Wye Valley area in the west of England. Louise, Andrew, Jules and I stayed in a cottage up there for a few days.

Laura & Barry, Stu & Kris and Miriam & Pete followed us up to celebrate new year's eve at a local pub called the Garway Moon Inn. It was a low key event but relaxing, enjoyable and a bit of fun with some good friends.

Dinner in our cottage. We played my first game of Jenga!
