So welcome to 2010. The BBC pronounciation unit says it should be called “twenty ten” so that is what I will stick to.

I am in Cornwall as I write this with my wife and having a good new year. Unfortunately Abbey was ill yesterday and so we missed the main celebrations but is better today so have been for a walk around Newquay and just devoured a cream tea with the sunsetting on Fistral Beach.

It is times like this where you are happy to be alive and also makes you realise what is important.

I would like to wish you all a happy 2010 and wish my late friend Kevin Rook who we lost in the last decade a bloody good one too!
