So the year has almost come to a close and it’s been a real roller coaster of a year. People have come and people have gone. Financially it’s been a very tough one but I have learnt a lesson and that is not to bury my head in the sand. I have a wonderful, supportive, family and I suppose through the toughest times I forgot this. I’ve realised I can ask for help and I’ll never be judged by the people who matter most.

I’ve also realised that the dark days don’t stay forever and there is a light at the end of the tunnel if you just hang on in there. Now don’t get me wrong I have had some amazing times this year too. The journey towards the exhibition was so special and I’m blessed to have had the chance to do so many things.

Health wise apart from the scare at the beginning of the year and my Achilles heel problems all is good.

We adopted Puggly the dog this year, another light of my life, along with Rocket-dog I now have two babies. 🙂

Jono and Lucy are the most fantastic kids I could have ever wished for. I’m proud to be their mum and to be able to watch them grow into the wonderful adults they have become.

They say that behind every good man is a good woman well I’m turning the tables on that one. Andy is the best, he is such a supportive, strong man and this year we celebrated 25 years of marriage, so here’s to the next 25!

Gosh this turned out to be very gushing! Anyway that’s the year in a nutshell. This year has taught me that if you have your health, a supportive family (and two mad dogs), there isn’t much else you need. You’ll muddle through it all anyway.

Happy Christmas folks. xx
