[Magdalen] Happy New Year

[Simon Kershaw]

Happy New Year to all! Let's hope and pray for a better 2021 than 2020, 
though it's not started well, with record numbers of cases of the c-word 
and daily death numbers climbing in both the USA and the UK (and in many 
other places too). And with the UK having left the EU single market and 
customs union we face a new relationship with the our European friends 
and the rest of the world too. All too much "little England" for me.

At least we can look forward to a change of direction in the USA later 
this month, and we await news from Georgia next week.

Meanwhile this morning I am listening to the annual New Year concert 
from Vienna, this year being performed without an audience.

And I look forward to life becoming a bit less hectic than it has been 
for the last 10 months, which seems to have been one of the busiest 
periods of my life.

Stay safe everyone.
