A Poignant New Years Eve tale...and the reason I dont much care for the day.... as a 6/7yr old child I came downstairs to find lots of people in the front room...and the curtains closed---so i went to open them and the Vicar shouted at me to leave them...me Mam was sat in her chair crying...and me Dad was in the back kitchen leaning on his elbow. Our Barbara had died during the night. I was too young to know the ins and outs of it all...but I`ll never forget those curtains being closed. Ages and ages after...a song come on the radio...and I really liked it. But me Mam rushed over and turned it off and was crying... I didnt understand. Was only years and years later that she told me it was Babs Song Well...just last night, as I was sat here...on came an old Top Of The Pops...and yeah...you`ve guessed it--the song came on. Bubbled me eyes out of course. So... as yer can imagine NYE in our house was always a non-event..and never has been. This is the song : youtu.be/z4ZipKdI1sY
