2011; good luck or good riddance?

It’s just hours until the clock strikes midnight and 2011 will be banished to our history…. so how was 2011 for you? Good luck or good riddance?

Here are just some or the reasons why 2011 proved to be a very momentous year indeed.

Naturally, without the help of a crystal ball, none of us have any idea what 2012 may bring but as is custom on the evening of the 31st December, we can but hope that 2012 brings each and everyone of us peace, happiness and prosperity.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
