The festivities went on long into the wee small hours. Myself & Layla headed back about 1.30am and Matt eventually turned in much later after he walked home with Roachey. It was a really good night and well organised by Andrew & Sarah. After also entertaining their respective families on Christmas Day and then to lay this on, it was much appreciated. It was hard to leave with the anthems starting to crank up and the singing in full flow.
We surfaced at about 10.30am, feeling a little tired to say the least, Matt & Layla were going on a walk at 12 noon round shustoke reservoir so they were going to walk to the reservoir where they were meeting everyone else. Then I was going to join them for lunch at the The Bull in Furnace End after I had watched West Brom Vs Everton. So they set off just after 12 and just as they had gone mum and Dad got home from Helen & Jeremy's, they had stayed over with John & Hil, it sounded like they had, had a really good night.
With a late winner by the mighty toffees and then a lovely burger, you couldn’t get a better New Years Day. It was great to see everyone and recap on the highlights of the previous night. Maisey also came with Ruth, she was so funny in her high chair and then she would go for a walk round the table, but Roachey was man down along with Russ who were both struggling. It was really nice to do something today as sometimes New Years day can be a bit of a day of survival but it was great to have something to look forward to.
We left the pub about 4pm and Matt & Layla drove back to ours and had a brew and a piece of cake before heading back to Hockley. It was nice to know we had an extra day off tomorrow before going back to work, I was looking forward to a good nights sleep and a bit of lie in. Last night was beginning to catch up with me I had a bit of soup before heading to bed, hopefully will feel human again in the morning.
