How was your Christmas and New Year? Are you all re-invigorated, set and ready to take 2026 by the chestnuts and give it a good twist?
Well if not, don’t worry; there is no law which says you have to be a new you just because it’s a new year. Don’t put that pressure on yourself. Maybe spend a little time putting together your short term, medium term and long term to-do list, then stick it in a drawer and wing it like you always do! It works for me!
Being a little more serious for a moment, I know I have some challenges to face and some tricky decisions to wrestle with this year, and I will be working through them in my usual, slightly random way. However, I did at least end 2025 and start 2026 with some relaxing family time followed by a fun adventure in wildest West Wales.
And as always, my camera was with me.
So to kick off the year nice and gently, here’s a handful of random images from the Wales trip.
It was a fun start to the year and it gave me a little time to reflect and consider what goals I might actually have. Here’s the thing though; I didn’t have any revelatory moments during the couple of weeks I was away, but I know thoughts were churning in the back of my mind.
Now that I’m back, some of those thoughts have turned into outline plans which have floated to the surface like messages in a Magic 8 Ball. I’m determined to get some of them out of my brain and into reality.
So here goes 2026! I hope your plans emerge too and that you manage to make them tangible.
Happy New Year!
