My first New Year's Eve in Dover was filled with wonder when all of the church bells burst out ringing. The next year, however, they were silent.
The occasion, I learned later, was the new millennium, even if technically 2000 was the last year of the old millennium while the actual arrival went unnoticed as such.
This year, Dover's churches have been asked to ring their bells at 9 pm as a prelude to a fireworks presentation to welcome in the city's 400th anniversary year observations.
Here's hoping the weather obliges.
From many miles away, we'll be thinking of folks there and hoping for a most exciting new yar.
