Lovely greeting joanne! Thanks! Flowing the greetings back at you in whatever direction things actually flow down there. ;-)
L'Shana Tova dear friends and family. May we all experience peace, sweetness, health and love in 5775
Hey, I just realised: it's a palindrome year! :-D
Hope London is safe and fun, this season

I went to verify the date with Rich before I posted it and he said the same thing. Any significance ?
L'Shana Tova! Wishing all good health and much happiness in the coming year.
Very best wishes for a happy new year filled with all good things for all!

Shana Tova to all who celebrate, and peace and happiness to all.
As for the year, I don't think its being palindromic has any special significance, but if you glom the two zayin's together and pronounce it as a word, it's kind of like "Huzzah"!

I am not Jewish, but hosting my first Rosh Hashanah dinner tomorrow night. Are there specific prayers and readings I need to track down for the dinner? I have apples & honey & challah, now wondering what part the religious aspect I need to prep...

One other custom is to eat a "new fruit" - something that you haven't had since last season. A common choice is a pomegranate, but people look for any exotic fruit that they don't customarily eat on a regular basis. When you say the 'shehecheyanu' on the second night, you then proceed to eat the new fruit.
Pomegranates are associated with bags of plenty (they're like sacks of seed rubies), and also are associated with fertility and with women. So they're lovely to have at this time of year.
Golden sweet fruits and veg are obviously good omens to have, as are round things that remind you of coins and medallions. Avoid spiky shapes and sharp flavours.
Rich greens, representing new growth and also money, are good to eat.
Lots of choice! ;-) Avoid too many nuts...
