I cannot believe that the year is almost done, although I won’t miss it for a second. These last 3 years have been particularly challenging for us, as a family, in business and in health but we are geared up and ready for the positive change that 2020 is bringing us.

On the subject of change, this little blog has seen a lot of change in its 5 years and I’m feeling a definite shift for the year to come. Before I begin creating that change, I’d love to hear what you love to see here or what you’d enjoy me to share.

For now, though, thank you for being here. Despite my decline in blogging regularity this year, my subscribers have increased massively. It’s been amazing to have you join our journey and I very much look forward to sharing growth with you next year.

May your festive period be merry and bright. Enjoy your family and loved ones, give them an extra squeeze and think of those less fortunate.

We’re having a quiet family Christmas right here in Pen Y Llechwedd where we belong, safe in the knowledge we’ll be here for some time to come. Our family shape may have dramatically changed, but that won’t stop those of us who are left, loving one another and sharing in the festive spirit.

I won’t be gone altogether over this time, you’ll find me on Facebook and Instagram.

Merry Christmas, and a very happy New Year to you all! xx

P.S If you have something you’d love to see me cover in the new year, please leave a comment with your suggestion.
