Casino Night

We all went to my sister's house to take part in a Las Vegas "casino" evening last night. I think I lost the theme of the evening, as whereas everyone else was poshed up in DJs and party frocks, I dressed up as a redneck American tourist (no offence to any of my US readers!)
The stomach is padding believe me!!!
We played blackjack and roulette and was supervised by my Brother-in-law's son and his girlfriend who has just been to Nevada, (so were experts !)

As New Year was called in, we went into the garden and the icy weather to watch fireworks roar into the sky. The celebrations were made even more magical by the sudden appearance of a string of graceful fired lanterns that soared slowly over the town and then floated wonderfully over the sea each one illuminated by flickering candles
.... we all stood in semi silence, spellbound by the view......it was lovely
