Apologies for the reflective post, but 2021 has been the toughest of years for me, for both personal and business reasons, (hence the lack of blog writing in the last few months), however there is so much to be thankful for despite all this.

Even though 2022 is already looking very uncertain for many industries (especially the Arts), I would encourage everyone to take a moment to think about what’s really important in our lives at this time of year and be grateful for the simple things.

Savour that mouthful of food, the warmth of the home that you live in and the company of family and friends surrounding you – many don’t enjoy these “luxuries” – and count your blessings that you are safe, well and loved! Gratitude for what we have is something we take for granted far too often!

For those of you who are not blessed with such an easy time of it (and there many I’m sure), I hope that your circumstances improve very quickly and that you can make the best of your situation over the Christmas period and that 2022 brings new hope and better circumstances for you.

To those who have supported me both in my work and personally, thank you so much and I hope that I can reciprocate in some small measure in the future.

I wish you all a peaceful, safe and healthy Christmas and New Year and look forward to a better 2022 for us all.
