January blues...

So with all good intentions 2018 hasn't started too well on the blogging front... with an internet speed at home which quite frankly could be being powered by a hamster on a wheel I have taken to reading and blogging from the tube and the coffee shop when I get a break at work, which as you can see has been minimal. Also out of no where the biggest hurricane of January blues swept in and took me off into quite a horrible space. I can now blame that on my age and look forward to more of it in the future.  Thankfully a number of high celebrity females have also begun to discuss the dreaded menopause and I don't feel quite so mad and alone with thinking that I need to be committed somewhere.
January has been a mix of a lot of work with the odd day off. Work has been a mixture snapping back after Christmas and then stocktaking to close off the financial year. We have also seen recent new appoints of a CEO and leadership team which has started a huge programme of change.
Time away from the corner shop has been spent reading, walking and catching-up with M. I did catch a few of the Lumiere light spectacles in London on one of my walks home along with a quick coffee and an hours gossip with my friend Caroline and her mum who I met many years ago through our blogs and have an annual coffee/drink when she is in London each January.
As a start to a new year it hasn't been the easiest of months - but I am looking forward to a better February with some time booked away from work and a few treats planned I am hoping that I will start to feel brighter and a little bit more myself.

Sorry to hear you're feeling down, T, was lovely to catch up with you and hope you're feeling better soon. Winter really does seem to have gone on forever this year xx
