I’m not a fan of short days and long nights – despite having been born on the longest night of the year – so always look forward to a new year, but never more so than now. I’ve been to 3 funerals in 4 weeks and will be reuniting my mum (in ashes form) with my dad (who died back in 1991) tomorrow. Inevitably this will be a short blog because I’m not altogether sure how much sense I am making… But I have been blown away by my friends, old and new – it’s rare that words fail me, but they seem to everyday right now. Thanks guys.
As I prepare to return to Norfolk this weekend the most exciting news is that, fingers crossed, I can start riding George (the horse) next week. I’m counting the hours until the vet comes to, hopefully, give me the all clear. I have popped in a sneaky ride on a friend’s horse (over 6 months off so yes, it really hurt 48 hours later, but it put a massive smile on my face) and can’t even countenance George not being back in action. I’m indebted to Emily Lochore and her team for looking after him so well in my absence.
My lovely clients have been very forgiving of my not being ahead of the game recently, so I am now on a major catch up and have some fun projects in the pipeline, both on the web and PR front. However, I must give a mention to Bill and Jenny Levett for their fantastic owners/supporters party (food to die for let alone the chance to have a massive catch up with photographer and web-client Fiona Scott-Maxwell), and huge congratulations to Oliver Townend who topped the BE leaderboard this year by over 800 points. Watch social media in the next few weeks for news on what he’s been up to recently 🙂 You should also check out Matt Dunkinson’s video round up of 2015 – he’s a really fantastic videographer
So, enough for this month – a late blog, a short and not very good blog – but I will be back in the New Year firing on all cylinders 🙂
