Aunt Betsie is making tea for everyone and Grandma is doing the gardening. Clara and Steve are doing the washing-up. Steve's also washing the grapes for tonight. In Spain, it's good luck to eat twelve grapes at midnight on New Year's Eve! As for the twins, they are making the decorations. They are excited, Spanish people call New Year's Eve Nochevieja, which means the old night. This is because the 31st of December is the last night of the old year.

How's everything back in NY? I hope the weather isn't too cold. Here in Madrid, everyone is getting ready to celebrate New Year's Eve. The shops are full of people. They are buying presents and food. Council workers are decorating the streets and making preparations for tonight's celebrations in the Plaza del Sol.

All the best!

The Highland Games

Many highland games take place all over Scotland every year. The most famous meeting is in Braemar, a small village in the Scottish

Highlands. The games are always on the first

Saturday in September.

Many athletes travel to Scotland each year to take part in the games. They compete in events like the hammer throw, shot put and the hill run. There are also music and dancing competitions. Marching bands perform for the crowds. They wear traditional clothing and play.

The most popular event of the day is the 'tug of war'. Two teams hold onto a rope and try to pull the other team over the line. 'Tossing the caber' is also popular. The athletes have to run holding a heavy tree trunk, the caber, upright. Then, they stop and throw it towards the sky.

Tickets always sell out months before the games start. It's a great day out for all the family.
