Happy New Year
As the storms sweeping Scotland forced the cancellation of so many outdoor Hogmanay celebrations, Bryan Burnett proclaimed that the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Radio Scotland event was the "best party in town". It certainly sounded that way as I listened to Bryan, Vic Galloway and Robbie Shepherd led the countdown to midnight. It was another little piece of history for us, because this would be the last time we'd have a Hogmanay programme from the big Studio 1 venue at Queen Margaret Drive in Glasgow. Next year the Glasgow staff will al be at our new H.Q. at Pacific Quay.
As for me, I spent Hogmanay alone, wrapped in a duvet and clutching a hot water bottle. A stomach bug which has been working its way through the Zed family since last week finally hit me. I tried to soldier on and joined the rest of the clan at a friend's house where a lavish buffet had been laid on.
I couldn't touch any of it and by ten o'clock I had to admit defeat and return home.
But thanks to Vic, Robbie and Bryan I did feel I was at the party.
