Like everything in London, welcoming in the new year is spectacular. Fantastic fireworks on the eve and the Mayor's parade on New Year's day. Thousands of performers from marching bands to giant pigeons, puppets, morris dancers, firemen, and clowns to mention but a few. It takes over three hours for the parade to weave it's noisy and colourful way from Piccadilly to Westminster. Nature was kind and New Years day was fine and sunny - that surely is a good start to 2010.
