Looking Ahead to the New Year

Onwards and Upwards

New Years always bring new hopes, new promises and a hatful of wishes. What will 2008 bring for you?


Christmas now seems a lifetime ago and people are busy making New Year’s resolutions as even the beginning of January feels longer ago than the five days it really is.

I was half expecting, or hoping, that I’d get stuck at the other end of the country with the snow that was being forecast this week but nothing really materialised so it meant a long drive home from the south coast to the north west after spending time with family. For some reason, the threat of snow always brings Britain to a standstill – motorways shut, cars abandoned power supplies down. But this Christmas there’s been nothing to mention so far.

So it was a long drive home and now I’m left to get ready for work on Monday. I can’t believe that two and half weeks can go so quickly and I never seem to have as much time during my holidays as I think I’ll have.

Not being someone who believes in New Year’s resolutions I haven’t made any. But I just want to wish everyone all the best blessing and wishes for 2008. Let’s hope it’s better in every way than the year just gone.
