Thanks to some sterling organisation efforts by the Batemans, we found ourself welcoming in New Year 04/05 in a quaint little cottage down in North Cornwall.

In true U.K. style, the weather was absolutely minging for most of the short break, but this only served in our favour by making sure we either stayed in next to a roaring log fire or headed down to the local boozer.

As you'll see below, we had a right knees up at the New Years Eve party. Everybody was in fancy dress attire inline with our chosen characters from a Murder Mystery game. What you don't see are the efforts that went into 'staying in character' including a range of ridiculous vocal accents, replays of Monty Python sketches, pretend marital problems, etc. An hilarious time was had by all.
