Good idea to let westmoors decide Mrs Jigs, though I too like Neilio’s suggestion.

Morning all. I'll do a celebratory roundup, but it might take me a day or two ;-)

Is still being here a bit like being behind the bike sheds after the bell has gone? Quick, put it out before someone smells it!

I'm delighted not to see a December round-up since I fell 3% short of the 1500 target in 2017. At least no-one knows about it though.

OK, so the December round up is going to be a little different as Fetch reset the targets before the December data could be collated. Regardless of whether or not you reached 1500 miles, our achievements in 2017 should be celebrated.

Celebrate: (1) Acknowledge (a significant or happy day or event) with a social gathering or enjoyable activity. (2) Perform a religious ceremony, in particular officiate at the Eucharist. (3) Honour or praise publicly.

So lets have a virtual party!

Party: (1) A social gathering of invited guests, typically involving eating, drinking, and entertainment. (2) A formally constituted political group that contests elections and attempts to form or take part in a government.

First we need to hang up the bunting.

Bunting: (1) A specific type of lightweight worsted wool fabric generically known as tammy, manufactured from the turn of the 17th century, and used for making ribbons and flags, including signal flags for the Royal Navy. (2) Patriotic and festive decorations made from such cloth, or from paper, usually in the form of draperies, wide streamers, etc., in the colors of the national flag. (3) Flags, especially a vessel's flags, collectively.

Next we need a cake.

Cake: (1) A sweet, baked, breadlike food, made with or without shortening, and usually containing flour, sugar, baking powder or soda, eggs, and liquid flavoring. (2) A flat, thin mass of bread, especially unleavened bread. (4) A shaped or molded mass of other food. (5) A shaped or compressed mass.

Now to open the champagne.

Champagne: (1) A white, sparkling wine produced in the Champagne region of France*. (2) A pale cream or straw color.

* Champagne appellation law allows only grapes grown according to appellation rules in specifically designated plots within the appellation to be used in the production of champagne. Primarily, the grapes pinot noir, pinot meunier, and chardonnay are used in the production of almost all champagne, but a tiny amount of pinot blanc, pinot gris, arbane, and petit meslier are vinified as well. Production involves specific pressing regimes unique to the region and secondary fermentation of the wine in the bottle to create carbonation.

Finally, raise your glass for the toast.

Toast: (1) A slice of bread that has been browned by exposure to radiant heat. (2) A ritual in which a drink is taken as an expression of honor or goodwill.

Congratulations on your achievements in 2017 and here's to success in 2018.
