Happy New Year

Whilst I've pottered round blogland today it has been such fun to read all of your resolutions, hopes for the future, reflections on the past and plans for the year ahead.
My favourites would have to be Nancy's plan to eat more smoked salmon, Ali's promise to organise her photos, and quite a few promises of more knitting.

Last year was filled for me both with inspiration and friendships as I visited you every day without leaving the sofa and with blog meet ups, as far apart as the V&A and at Kew, on Hadrian's Wall, on Alnmouth Beach, in Kendal coffee shops and in Barter Books.

I'm making no rash promises of what you'll find here in the year ahead, although having posted several times without a single decent photograph that is something I clearly need to resolve......  oh and talking of rash things I entered a ballot today for a half marathon(I'm power walking it not running for those of you that think I am fitter than I am!), any future photographs are likely to be of muddy training walks....

  8. Half marathon, are you nuts woman? Respect and good on you anyway.
    The V&A was fun, although it does seem like many moons ago now! Perhaps in in 2013 ?
