This week we start with Hannah's excitement to get back to her keep fit routine which did not start off as planned as her reformer Pilates class had been cancelled the night before but Hannah for some reason did not get the memo.

The evening was The Big Fat Quiz of the Year at the Hogan Stand which saw the biggest turnout in 15 years of quizzing. Some 20 teams and nearly 100 people enjoyed a fun evening of quiz questions about 2025.

The following day Hannah's father’s cousin Miles and his wife Sue joined them for brunch at Savva Lounge in San Pedro where they all enjoyed a mixture of Eggs Benedict in a croissant, French Omelette and Waffles with maple syrup and crispy chicken, the ideal set up for a long night of New Year's Eve celebrating at The Hogan Stand.
