A Very Fine Rendering Of ‘Auld Lang Syne’ For New Year’s 2019 By Dougie MacLean.
The correct, and ONLY-WAY, to link arms — CROSSED — to
sing Auld Lang Syne for the New Year.
Many thanks to Reg Portieous, of ‘The Brigadoons‘,
for sharing this YouTube with me today.
Made my day — and I hope it makes yours too.
New Year’s Eve will not be New Year’s Eve without a proper rendering of ‘Auld Lang Syne‘ and this by Dougie MacLean is pretty damn impressive.
I, as you will find if you look around this blog, am a connoisseur and aficionado of ‘Auld Lang Syne‘. So, I was might please to hear this.
Happy New Year.

Happy New Year 2019 — More Or Less In Real Time.
Picture of fireworks taken this afternoon at the Wolfeboro, N.H., 6:30pm fireworks show. It was way too early but they roll up the carpet in sleepy, ol’ Wolfeboro by 7:30pm, every night, so that the seniors can go to bed by 8pm. It is the thought that counts.
Happy New Year.

Wolfeboro, N.H.: No ‘First Night’ For 2019 (i.e., December 31, 2018) BUT There Is A ‘Last Night’.
For 2019 – 2020 UPDATE, i.e., Dec. 31, 2019.
This was also the case last year and the year before.
No ‘First Night’, with a midnight fireworks, as there used to be — instead a ‘Last Night’ that wraps up by 9pm.
An early end will not be a bad thing in 2018 since we will be getting snow/ice/rain around that time.

2018 Christmas Revels (Cambridge, MA), ‘Nordic Celebration’ — The ‘Thank You’ Video From The Gang.
This year end ‘Thank You’ video (at Vimeo) is now becoming another Revels (Cambridge) tradition. A nice touch. A fond year-end reminder, when the days are truly dark and damp, for those of us who were fortunate enough to attend a performance, as to the ever uplifting gaiety of a Revels. For those, alas, who could not attend, it gives you a quick glimpse of what Revels was all about.
We attended the December 20 show. The fourth or fifth Revels we have attended at Cambridge. Overall, I have been to about 20 between Revels North & Cambridge.
2018 Revels, by definition, was good. It wasn’t the best nor was it brilliant. But, it was still good and that is what counts.
Enjoy this ‘Thank You’ video. It captures what it is all about.

Sunday Buffet Brunch, In Winter, At The “Castle In The Clouds”, Definitely Looks Like A Winner.
Click IMAGES to ENLARGE.
We, as you must have realized, are huge fans of ‘The Castle In The Clouds‘ and ‘attached’ ‘Carriage House Restaurant‘. We try to eat there as often as we can, but are also often thwarted in that they are so, so busy.
This is the first I had heard about these Winter 2019 Sunday buffet brunches. I am a brunch addict. This looks GREAT. I am going to try and go as soon as I can.
Just wanted to share it with you.
Happy New Year.
