As this year draws to a close in readiness for 2014 I want to say a big thank you to each and everyone of you for stopping by.

I’ve had a year of ups and downs, but one thing that’s remained constant is you and your kindness.

I can’t wait to get back into the swing of things, but for now I’m chillaxing with my family, regrouping and clearing my head. I hope you’re getting some quiet moments of reflection and some big belly laugh moments too, but most of all I hope you are surrounded by love.

Roll on 2014 I say – who knows what’s around the corner? All I can hope for is good health, a happy home and many adventures.
