We watched the 120th annual Tournament of Roses Parade this morning as we always do. It is about 2 hours long and is a fascinating spectacle. Every single item on the floats must be natural and the colours are from flowers, lots of rose petals, grasses, coconut, wheat, etc. You can see the detail by double clicking on the picture and see how large it is when you compare it to the crowds behind. It takes 3,000 - 13,000 hours to build the floats and people are already planning what they'll do for next year. There were floats from Alaska to China. The drivers are driving blind and have a 'spotter' peeking out to say go 2 inches left or turn at the corners.
Next, we celebrated the New Year with a champagne Brunch. What a joy to be in the sunshine with good friends.
