New Years Eve on
Anegada
 Well here we are in
celebratory mood
We spent the morning slacking out,
the afternoon opening Christmas pressies over a bottle of Champagne. Then it was
shower and get ready to party. We arrived at the Reef Hotel and immediately felt
welcome. Time for a painkiller cocktail before being shown to our table, where
the three of us sat in a line overlooking the bay. The American lady
who was our hostess for the early part of the evening liked us, so instead of
the promised bottle of champagne - we had two, a great start to the evening. Our
starter was a blue marlin dip, crackers, a green salad, warm rolls served with
real butter. Bear ordered a bottle of red for Jump and himself, that left me to
be brave over a bottle of rose.
  Our mains: Whole
baked lobster, cauliflower cheese, broccoli, carrot, baked plantain, a
baked potato with sour cream dressing, melted butter for the lobster and more
champagne also appeared. When the unhurried meal was over (Jump and I left half
our lobster - wrapped in a doggy bag for tomorrow with new potatoes and salad),
we were moved nearer the beach for the band to set up.
  The fizz slipped
down a treat and as the midnight hour approached Bear
took on the showman persona of Elton John
  Happy New
Year. A couple had to leave as their youngsters hit the tiredness
wall - giving us a half a bottle of champagne. A waiter gave us a full
bottle and some more red appeared. Bear grew so attached to his new hat
that when it blew off as we tied up Baby Beez at nearly 02:00, he stripped to go
and rescue it. What a start to 2010.
ALL IN ALL WE WISH YOU ALL A
VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR AND MAY 2010 BRING YOU DEEP
JOY
