Let’s just say New Years Eve/New Years Day were emotional! We celebrated with our traditional New Years sleepover with our beloved niece and nephew, which it couldn’t have been more perfect, with a full and varied Chinese takeaway, Frozen (the film) karaoke, Celebrity Lego Masters and an episode of “Is It Cake?” with popcorn, a few presents kept back from the Christmas tree ………..
….. but without doubt one of the quaffable highlights had to be young Master Bertie’s mocktails!
He really is quite the expert mixologist, taught by the master himself, Darrell ……..
…… who as always kept a very keen and proud, but not interferant eye on his young protégé ……
……. partaking enthusiastically in the delights of his labours ………
…… to wit a cheeky “New Year Sunset”, consisting of lemonade, bubble gum pop, sweet mango syrup, vanilla cola syrup, lemon sherbet syrup with a generous measure of strawberry sherbet powder. According to Darrell a non inebriant triumph!
There was also, although not all that blue, Bertie’s “Blue Skies on a Dismal Day” made from blue bubble gum pop, rosy apple and vanilla cola syrup, a splash of lemonade and a sprinkling of sherbet. In Darrell’s expert opinion an alchemist’s dream par excellence …….
As were his “Strawberry Lemonade” and “Green Leaves”. The boy dun gud! What better way to leave the old and travel to the new ……… happy, happy days!
Happy New Year to you all. The drinks certainly sound exotic, you definitely celebrated in style.

Who needs alcohol, when Master Bertie can produce these delights. More wonderful memories for Miss Iris and Master Bertie.
