Happy new year

Blwyddyn newydd dda.

Happy new year from the wildest westest of wales.

In 17something, when they changed over to the current calendar it meant that 13 days had to be lost.

People went to bed, it was the end of December woke up and half January was gone.

Here in North Pembs they thought that 2 weeks had been pinched off their lives.

So ever since they have continued, in defiance of the rest of the world, to mark the original new years day.

Yesterday (had to be yesterday with today being the sabbath and all) we had a huge party to welcome in the new year.

The pub stayed open all night and everyone had a good time.

All day yesterday the children toured the local farms singing traditional carols.

They could not have walked away with more cash without firearms....

So Happy new year to you all.

Goes to show though that even time is a relative construct.
