It’s one week into the New Year and I’m feeling damn inspired; the most since my autumn crack-up, maybe even the most I’ve felt in any New Year.

Something I’m normally frustratingly unfamiliar with – I’m typically an enthusiastic starter of things, but rarely make the first bend, let alone finish. Not sure why, but who cares – this year willpower is upon me and I must say I’m rather enjoying the company.
