Very elegant, Phil. Ray and I were too shattered for stay-up champagne on the night but Neil opened a bottled of his best and saved us all a glass which he brought to table yesterday evening with the Moroccan fish stew he cooked.
I managed to see part of it on RAI TV (the Italian tv network). I forgot all about it this year. I have been watching it direct (or recorded) ever since I remember. Great to celebrate with that bottle of good champagne. You took a beautiful shot of this bottle and I hope you didn't drink it all at one go by yourself. Happy New Year my friend.
Happy New Year! A very tempting photo. We went to the opera in Vienna on our honeymoon- we dressed up for it because we thought people did - they didn’t but were appreciative of our efforts. The older people vocally approved!
Happy New Year!
