As I won't make it home to Scotland this Hogmanay,

, I will almost certainly be there.

Jude (Lady of the Forge) and I have decided to drive up from NC. Have just booked a hotel for the night. Look for the dandelion!

Just thought I'd give this a bump as the event is two days away. For those who don't know Portsmouth Olde Towne, the High Street where the walk takes place is a pedestrian-friendly area with numerous pubs and restaurants and is well worth a visit.
