On New Year’s Eve I went for dinner with all the VSO vols,
plus a few extra, for John’s birthday. After that we all headed in different
directions, as everyone had different plans for the New Year celebrations. Helen
and I had heard that Senegambia would be busy and bolshy, and would take forever to travel to and from as everyone flocked there, and so we were happy to spend
the evening in Fajara. We ended up going to the same Leybato apartment that we
had pre-Christmas drinks in with Vicki, Nicola, Alex and Ellie last week, as
the usual resident – Susanna – was holding a party. We drank, danced, ate Bea’s
vodka watermelon, and watched the fireworks along the coast, and then at about
1.30 I headed up to Aso Rock to spend the rest of the night dancing there.
On New Year’s Day Rob held a dinner party at Helen’s – where
he conjured up a full roast dinner! We had roast leg of goat, roast potatoes,
roast butternut squash, green beans, African greens, gravy and mince sauce,
washed down with good red wine! It was amazing – my first roast in months, and
it felt like a great way to see in the New Year!
