Giant Lanterns

I always find the best new years are the ones that are not planned. At 7pm on New Years Eve we were still all faffing around the shops..kind of disregarding the fact that it was the last night of the year..still bumbling along in our bikinis. However the night was so organic and chilled, it turned out to be such a special night for us all. Our little guest house lit fires on the beach and we all lit these giant lanterns which then floated up into the sky. Somehow it felt really sacred and symbolic. All the years stresses simply floating up into the sky and time for a fresh new year. Who knows where on earth we will be this time next year?? America? Austrailia? Singapore? I am just praying we will be able to have a dog.
