Mum & Dad P Wow!!! Just seen the fireworks from Sidney to welcome the New Year in Sky News! Amazing! I bet it was incredible to be there, and I have to admit... they were even better than Calpe! See what Birstall does to welcome the New Year (may be a bit of singing along this song I never seem to remember the words to it?)
