Happy 2013, y’all. I took a 2 week break with limited access to civilisation and technology and I must say, I feel rested and re-energised for the first time in a very long time. 2012 was a crazy year for me. I put on my big-girl panties and did things like buy a home, move to a new city and start an exciting new job. All good things, but I’m looking forward to less change in 2013. Here’s to stability, health, happiness and good gin.

Thanks so much Natalie. I really did! Amazing how much we’ve got to explore on our doorstep, and at a fraction of the price of an overseas trip. And, ditto :)
