Happy New Year everyone. I hope that 2012 has started well for you all. I am always full of optimism at the beginning of a new year and 2012 is no exception. We toasted the new year with a bottle of Grandad’s Elderflower 1994 ( a particularly good year – and the year “The Teen” made her appearance).
This is a year that will be full of changes. “The Teen” will be off to University, leaving me free to “pursue my own interests” (or as Mr T puts it “Get off my backside and find a job”). Yes, it’s going to be an exciting year.
Do I want to go back to the world of community development and sustainability consultancy? Or should I pursue my ambition to make a living doing the things I love?After all, there’s nothing actually “wrong” with my life as it is. We eat well, have amazing friends, have our health and each other. Things could be a lot worse.
Who know what this year will hold, but all suggestions and predictions welcome.
Remember, life is what you make it.

/ January 5, 2012Whatever you decide I hope there’ll still be time to fit in a bit of shopping and lunching! (Sorry, for the benefit of our respective Mr T’s that will be “research and networking”!).
ps. If you have the opportunity to do something you really love, go for it – you’ll always wonder “what if?” if you don’t! Happy New Year : )

/ January 5, 2012Happy New Year Tracey. I hope you try ‘the things you love’ first – you never know, it could always turn into a ‘proper job’ then you’ll kill two birds with one stone and Mr. T and the teen will be really proud. Hope to see you soon at F & C. I was going to come tonight but didn’t sleep last night due to the winds and had a really busy day (doing things I love too and getting paid for it too – hubby impressed). Good luck whatever you do and have a fab 2012 xx Lynne xx
