The new year always begins in the most positive of ways for us as we celebrate our youngest girl’s birthday at the start of January. I can’t think of a better way to bring colour and joy to the greyest of months. This year, she turned nine years old. Nine years of my little ray…
We begin January 1st every year with an empty glass jar and a stack of brightly coloured scraps of paper.

This time a year ago, at the end of September 2017, I was getting ready to head off on my first solo adventure in thirteen years. I’d been trying to mentally prepare myself for my trip for the best part of nine months, ever since I found out that I’d won a competition to travel…
