Rambling write-up of the day in extras http://365project.org/boxplayer/extras/2014-12-31

@roachling identified that she had a them to her new year's eve photos and I think I've worked out the theme for mine ... very silly costumes, courtesy of our annual themed new year's get-togethers at Anna's. Last year https://www.flickr.com/photos/ayla63/11781313753/in/set-72157632426962374/

So there's another year done - including my colour months. As usual, you ask the question, where on earth did those days, weeks and months go? 2015 was an odd one - lots of health niggles, feeling proper ageing going on - need to tackle that for the new year. And some family issues. But lots of jolly times too. The 365 community continues to be a source of infinite fun, good humour, kindred spirits and often well-needed support. I want to thank all of you followers and commenters, and friends too, for making my 2014 that much better. I'm not always a good follower but I love you all dahlings!! Special shout outs to those who have followed me actively through bits of or the whole year. You made me laugh, you made me cry, you made me poke Dave in the ribs when he was trying to read peacefully and say: 'You've got to see this!':

Happy new year to you and yours !

I agree with dh - your parties do always look fun! Great costumes - Dave looks brilliant and I recognised you as Whistler's mother before I'd checked the links, hehe!
January 2nd, 2015  
I must confess I would be totally stressed if I had to get a costume together to attend your NYE events but they do look wonderful. Next to the paintings they looked even better I think. Well done you all!
January 2nd, 2015  
Thank YOU! I found myself nodding as I read your comments about 2014, similar year for me, and I so share your sentiments! This is wonderful. Happy New Year!
January 2nd, 2015

Nice collage.
January 2nd, 2015  
Goodness, you must have a lot of time on your hands to have all these albums! What better way to occupy it though! Is that supposed to be William Tell on the bottom right?

Happy New Year Boxplayer! It's always a pleasure checking in to your photos/diary and even more so your good self in person. Might finally organise a Cambridge meet up!
