Farewell 2013

Yes.  Farewell to 2013.  I nearly failed to capture you as the sun set for the last time this year.  The sun has been hiding for so many days now that it was a shock when he put in an appearance for a few minutes to enable me to capture a photo.

2013 was quite an uneventful year and for that I am grateful.  I didn't really have any plans for 2013 so I am going to make sure that I don't let 2014 slide away from me without 'doing' anything. So in 2014 I propose to:

• make the most delightful herbal sleep pillows with my own recipe herbal mix

• take up lino cutting/printing with the set I was given for Christmas

• visit the Chelsea Physic Garden for ideas and inspiration

• make high end jewellery using silver and semi-precious gemstones

• return to my water colour painting (not done this for a couple of years now).

• bake my own bread

• make soap and other cosmetic preparations

• plant a herb garden

• start job hunting (if I have any time left to do so!)

So there it is.  A list of intentions for the coming year.  I doubt I will do them all, but I will try.

*Happy New Year to all the folks that drop by to this space in blog land.  See you next year.*

New

A brand new diary to be filled over the coming months.

A major birthday coming up in March entering into my 5th decade.

My 25th (Silver) Wedding Anniversary coming up in June.

The first grape harvest due at the vineyard at the end of summer.

A year of celebration.

A year of sunshine (OK, I made that one up but it would be nice!)

Happy New Year!
