Bonne année, meilleurs vœux, et surtout la santé ! This year, our traditional exchanges of new year’s wishes won’t be accompanied by the obligatory kisses, but the wishes won’t be any less cordial. As much as Christmas is a family affair, new year’s wishes are exchanged with practically everyone, family, neighbours, shopkeepers, you name it. People in France send their cards in the new year, rather than at Christmas and it is deemed to be a no-no to wish anyone a happy new year before January 1st! At the end of January, it’s all over – the new year is no longer new, and everyone is glad to be done with the wishes! 🙂
The current pandemic has caused a lot of hardship and heartache all over the world, but with the availability of the vaccines there is hope that our lives will become easier once more. I’m looking forward to meeting up with friends and family, hugs, handshakes, kisses, concerts, theatre visits, restaurant meals and some travelling – but only if it’s safe to do so!!
At the start of 2021 we have 365 days ahead of us! 365 days to fill with love and hope, 365 days to make our dreams become reality, 365 days to make a difference, 365 days for re-connecting with friends and family, 365 days to make the world a kinder place!
What will you do with your 365 days?
Now that Trump is gone, I can be cruel and sarcastic again. For the past four years I held back because he monopolised it in the worst possible ways!

Four years of holding back is a very long time!! I’m sure you have lots to ‘evacuate’!! 🙂 Happy New Year!

I really hope we can socialize again, and get back to cafés and restaurants and travel.
All the best to you for 2021, et surtout la santé!!

A belated Bonne année! I don’t think I have particular plans except to try to make the most of the 365 days in these restricted times.
