A Happy New Year



Another year goes and another comes. 2005 was a lovely year for me. What made it special was the new friends I have made through Blogging. You really are a lovely bunch. Special thanks to the lovely Rachel Fuller for getting me into Blogging and the great times I've had through it. It was four o'clock when we finally got into bed this morning so I'm a little tired. Have a great 2006 everyone and may it be good to you all.

PS Oh yes, the other thing that made 2005 special was that I married Jill in February.

One of the photos is of me taken on New Years Eve and the other is of revellers at the gig we did the same night. If you enlarge the photo you will see the bubbles we float into the party.
I don't normally wear earrings, I was getting in the party mood.

Oh Mark, lovely comment from you over on my blog from yesterday! I just missed you as I am finishing up online here right now and going to bed. It is about 5 am and I am just making it to bed LOL!

Happy New Year to you as well and I am so honored to be your friend! I wonder what the New Year has in store for you and Jill and how relationships can possibly be strengthened with loved ones. I have had you in mind a lot as I have made some of these prayers for myself!

How did you two celebrate your New Years I would love to know!??

Take care and have a lovely Sunday and start to your week!

P.S. Thank you for being YOU and being so open with me. You have such a beautiful heart and Jill is so lucky!!

Hey Mark....Yeah Strutter was pretty easy to learn. When I was first learning guitar, Kiss was the first bands I learned because the chords were so easy. The first chords I learned were D.E.A pretty fuuny combo. No I hope I don't see the D.E.A.....:) heres a great website for chords and another for all I mean all of the WHO's songs

My sister has a jewlery store in Athens if you want to buy more earrings, LOL!

By looking at the photos and reading Jill's blog it looks like a great party! What a great way to welcome the New Year....

If what they say it's true, that your year will be the same as it starts, you will be partying all year and I'll be busting my a$%&e at work!

It was fab meeting you too, btw!!!

Oh Mark and Jill I am so happy for you, what with tickets for the Basement Jam arriving in the mail !!!!!
LOL
Thanks for your best wishes and the same from Val and me.
Your pictures tell me we should have celebrated at one of your parties. But then again, our quiet way, tucked up somewhere in Belgium has its own charm.

Mark, I agree with you: discovering Rachel and all the bubbling and positive energy around her made 2005 very special.
And once again: what a pleasure, meeting you and Jill

happy new year to you and jill!

i love those all you can eat chinese restaurants.

problem is they pack the food full of salt so you need to buy drinks.

when you've finally realised you're full, you swear you'll never eat another one again!

I must say Mark, I'm really glad Rachel started me off on this whole blogging thing, otherwise you and I would never have met, and I must say, my life was enriched in many ways last year as a result with many new friends, and amazing moments.

Hello Mark,

Lovely photos! I too didn't get into bed until late, & must be old because I'm still recovering! I've been checking into your blog, I'm glad Rachel got you into it it's a nice one:) Oh if you have been to Rachel's blog, you see that she has a site on myspace now, I have asked a few other bloggers. I was wondering if you would allow me to use your photos of the Rachel gig. As I am setting up another photo marquee & I think that it would be FAB to have some performance pictures on it:) If not I understand, please let me know..I hope to visit often!

Take Carexx
