As always, we ended the old year well with our family traditions.
I baked mincemeat pies for the fourth year. This has always been my mother's task, but now she is gone, it rests on my shoulders to carry on the tradition. All the other years, I have struggled with the pastry, but this year, I made them with Mary Berry's recipe and they were excellent.

I greeted him at the door with mince pies and Grand Marnier, then we toasted the new year and took our picture in front of the tree. After we sent the family Happy New Year wishes, James called from England and I was able to Facetime with the whole family there. It was a treat.
It was a wonderful New Year’s Eve
