Are you the type of person who starts the new year a fresh each time? Do you wake up on the 1st of January with a head full of ideas and plans to make this year the best year?
I don’t. I usually wake up with a hang over. My ‘New Years resolutions’ intentions are good but I never really make it. But perhaps, perhaps, this year will be different. I feel different, my head space is different.
2019 has been a whirlwind, full of real highs and real lows. As many of you will know, both Dave and I lost our jobs in August, mid way through buying a house. Our employer owes us a several months wages and was a real piece of work. Dave started a new job in October, me in December. Since then, we’ve been able to start getting our lives back on track.
Less of the lows – I went on two international press trips with the blog, I was a finalist in the BOOM Awards for their Best Organic Blogger category and had a piece about worm composting published in Good Food Magazine. The podcast went from strength to strength and in my personal life, I gained another niece and continued to grow my friendships.
