Malcolm we arrived here on 30th December so we were one of the first to see in the new year, having travelled for 32 plus hours and a day with our grandchildren aged 3 years and 18 months who don't stop moving and chatting hence bed by 9pm on new years eve.
New year has never bothered me and in fact I find it a very melancholy time of the year remembering those not here etc. So prefer not to make much of it.

I just remember seeing New Zealand celebrating New Year at what was 11 a.m. New Years eve here. However, it was Samoa in the South Pacific that saw it first one hour earlier at what was 10 a.m. here in UK.
I'm not sure how this works out in these days of instant international transactions because if you send a payment from UK to New Zealand by internet banking, what would the date of the payment be if it is sent just after 11 a.m. because in UK it will be 31st December 2017 whilst in New Zealand it would be 1st January 2018, not only different month but different year?

Is there a knack to taking pictures of the moon?
Not for me David, on that picture I handheld my Panasonic FZ330 on an Intelligent Auto setting. If I were to use my DSLR I would use a tripod and maybe invest in a moon filter.
The picture below (a couple of months ago) I took using my bird spotting scope with my mobile phone

My photo was taken using my Panasonic FZ150, Panasonic are wonderful cameras. I use the auto intelligence or sometimes the outdoor sport setting plus anti shake setting. Have tried using night setting, but to get a better picture you need a tripod.

Yes, I heard on the weather forecast about Storm Eleanor. Hopefully, it won't be too bad here in Bristol as we need to take the awning down and pack it away tomorrow morning to be off the site by 12 noon.

Good luck with the shopping, MrRoute, do you shop at the Tesco Extra on the roundabout as you exit the A27 towards Shoreham? We'll be shopping there too soon after our return on 4th January.

The moon photos have been lovely. Thanks all, mine was a rushed job before it vanished behind the trees.
Have both been to the docs this morning, loaded up with antibiotics, told it will take two or three weeks to clear. Felt like a pair of old crocks!
Nice to hear from Bakers2, glad you arrived in NZ safely , but what a journey. Hope everything has arrived by now and you've got your clothes back.
Storm just brewing in the west, I think we have 50mph winds on the way, glad to be indoors in the warm.

Yes overnight, but will it be over by the morning, RJLJ? It's not the best of weather today either. It keeps raining on and off and the awning is soaking wet!

More 'moon shot's' coming up on the 31st of January with the total eclipse of the moon (a blue moon) .Hope it's a clear night !!.

I just had a look at the forecast, 45 to 50 mph winds from 8 p.m. tonight and all day tomorrow, so it looks like we'll have to get the awning down this afternoon.
