So its 2024, another year over, another year starts, but really its just another day, sunrise, do stuff, sunset. The mid winter break (if you get one) allows the chance to rset, to think about those things which you want to concentrate on, to change old habits, bring in new ideas, start afresh from a Blank Canvas (™). I am lucky in that I am happy with my life so my main wish is for continued health and happiness, some resolution to world conflicts, action towards halting climate change, a Labour government, new patio (not like Fred/ Rose), the chance to go to conferences in Copenhagen, Philly and Porto, travel to Vietnam, see more of my kids and be just a little bit more famous.
New Years Day started well on my mission, with the Lyme Lunge, a beautiful site of 1200 people in fancy dress dipping into the ice cold water of Lyme Regis, Dorset. The local press loved taking pictures of friend Steve and myself, our outfit garnished with 2024 futuristic glasses. An easy image to summarise the new year. So far this year I am having an article written about my first book (Blank Canvas), have had some music played on Radio Wigwam and have finalised some amazing acts for the Sidmouth International Jazz and Blues festival. Exciting times ahead. I hope everyone has had a great start to the year, enjoy the increasing amount of daylight and the opportunities a new dawn brings.
