Merry Christmas
Doesn't the tree look empty with no presents left under it? Oh hang on there's a couple we haven't passed along yet. I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas day; we certainly did. We did receive lovely presents and ate lots of food but the best part as always was just being with the family.
We're looking forward to the new year. I don't usually bother with resolutions because like most people I'm a bit slack about keeping them but this year will be different!
These aren't in any particular order and it's not a complete list but it's a start.
1) Get the garden producing even more and put in more fruit trees and some nut trees.
2) Apart from my "treats" minimal non-essentials buying for a year. (not as hard as it sounds for me - I hate shopping, don't need to buy things to make me feel good about myself and can't stand clutter.lol ) And in case you're wondering, my "treats" vary. I absolutely believe in treating yourself to a great book, a lunch with a friend, time out for a walk, or whatever is a treat to you. It's a mistake to think that treats have to even cost.
3) Learn to make more things from scratch. (finally doing my making sourdough bread course in the new year woo hoo)
4) Make the most of the time I have with my friends and be firm about not allowing not-nice people into my space.(wasn't I polite there - "not-nice people" lol). I want to spend more time with people who are positive about life in general rather than the negative types.
5) look seriously into aquaculture.
I'm sure you have you're own resolutions that you're thinking about. Go for it! Do a course, join a club, take a walk and smell the roses, learn or teach a new skill. Life is far too short to waste.
