What did I see today? I could see in all directions. In the western quarter there is St Agnes Beacon. In the distance in the eastern quarter there are grey hills, perhaps the waste heaps of the China Clay District, or perhaps downs. In the past they were white (the Cornish Alps), but now there are plants growing on them. There is something else growing! That is Goonhavern. Where are the downs for the animals in summer now? There are only white houses. In the northern direction there is the sea – always blue/grey/green. And the wind is coming from the south today. It is not strong and it is not cold.

Nobody fought or argued. We are all still talking with one another. That is success! And tomorrow is another day.

Several members of my family want to see the start of the New Year. I prefer to go to bed early. So I say "May there be success, happiness and health to everyone in the New Year." Already it's New Year's Day with our friends and relatives in Australia and New Zealand.
