A Piper Welcomes In 2022

Villagers who were out to welcome the New Year were treated to a piper playing Auld Lang Syne as it turned midnight into 2022 🙂

The piper, who was with a private function being held in the Comrades Hall, played outside the hall and then led the party and those from the Comrades Arms down to the square to meet with other villagers who had kept the tradition of singing Auld Lang Syne and making a circle in the square.

When the piper had stopped, we were then led to Bennett Jones, aged only 10 years, who played his rendition of Auld Lang Syne on his trumpet.  The piper played another tune and a few fireworks were let off from Bernards’ Place.

The following 2 and a half minute video is not professional but hopefully captures the spirit and gives memories to those who were there:

Happy New Year!
