I'm lucky, I live in a neighbourhood where we know, like and look after each other.
In fact, our new neighbours are so wonderful that it's as though we got them out of a catalogue.
Anyway, we set off tonight to do all the homes, including an attempt to do first footing with an American visitor which requires a series of step-ladders to ensure that he can make it real by going in (introducing the new year) the front and leaving out the back (taking out the old). (We live in a terrace and need the ladders to vault fences).
And if you don't know, this also involves carrying coal, and we've purchased real coal for the purpose, in contradiction to the capital's smokeless fuel legislation.
Not that we're lighting any fires with the temperature currently at a balmy 13 degrees C.
Anyway, it's New Year and I've bought a bottle of Champagne and a packet of fags to celebrate: So cheers!
