New Year's Concert 1996

A New Year's Eve On A Windswept Night.

Advantages: Looking forward to the coming of spring.
Disadvantages: Can be very sad for many who reflect on their memories.

New Year's Eve is one of those strange nights which brings excitement and hope for many, and a deep sense of sadness for others. There is something very moving about the sound of Big Ben as it resonates over London at midnight, or the fireworks exploding into a cascade of colours in Edinburgh, illuminating the sky in a million shades of crimson and gold over the majestic castle. Wrapped up in scarves tightly knotted, party goers dance and cheer, heralding the New Year with excitement and eager anticipation. I always remember the Millennium as my family were all living at home then, and we made the journey to the Outer Hebrides all together to celebrate the dawn of 2000.

Review of What's the best way to celebrate New Year's Eve?

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Advantages: Great fireworks!
Disadvantages: Have to get a spot early!

The sound of fireworks fills my ears and the sky is crammed with the bright colours of fireworks exploding left, right and centre. Screams of delight and smiling faces surround me as I am filled with emotion. This time last year I was at a house party in London watching the Sydney fireworks on TV and a year on there I was standing in the middle of it all, maybe some New Years revolutions can happen. It has been my dream for a few years now to experience Sydney ...

Review of Sydney for New Years Eve

New Year, New Me, New Resolutions!

Advantages: The start of a new year to improve on things
Disadvantages: Can you stick to them?

This year is going to be very different for me, as last year wasn't brilliant! ****RESOLUTIONS*** We all make New Year's Resolutions to gains ome kind of achievement, whether its to stop smoking which will save you money and make you a lot healthier or loosing weight because you've put on a few extra pounds over the past year. Do you feel you have to make the same resolutions as your friends? I think you need to work out what your problems are in your life or what has happened over the past year and you need to see how you can improve them. This can lead to your New Year's Resolutions! Don't make stupid resolutions you know you can't stick to! ***WHY WAS LAST YEAR SO BAD?*** I was diagnosed with Hyper-mobility syndrome which doesn't sound like much but for those people that suffer from it or have read my reviews it can ...
