The Roman God Janus is supposed to symbolise the new year. By looking both backwards and forwards at the same time, Janus can see the old year leaving and the new year approaching. I think that Janus must have spent a lot of time getting run over.
Anyway, it's very nearly the end of the year. I've had a good year, and I'm looking forward to another. I hope you've all had a happy and creative time too.
I won't be able to have a drink with you all on new years eve, but I'll think of you all as I raise a glass and shout
Happy New Year!
