The 1885 was transformed into something fantastically different on New Year’s Eve. The balloons with trimmings, the table décor, the menu…everything looked so elegant and you could actually feel a charge of gaiety in the air. Later on it was packed with diners who were obviously intent on having a good time as the last hours of 2011 loomed. I was at the piano as usual, except that I “charged” myself up with two glasses of red wine, heh heh.
During my break I walked to the old Sarkies (which was very quiet now) and snapped some pictures with the lovely staff there. I’ve said it again and again, the staff make the hotel what it is—a home away from home.

Happy New Year, everyone.
