So here we are in 2010! I hope it is a good one for you.Although we all know that yesterday was new years day this was not always the case. Previously we celebrated new year in March. Scotland changed to January 1st in 1600 whilst the rest of the UK finally came round to this way of thinking in 1752. We now use what is known as the Gregorian calendar. If you type this into a search engine you will find out lots of interesting stories about it's adoption throughout Europe, I actually can't believe how interesting this little slice of history is.
Happy new year!
