This Is It

Here I am. Here it is. My 52^nd and final post. We’ll not dwell on that sad fact for now – I have my week to tell you about!

Last week I decided to book Friday off work and head home for a three day weekend. And it wasn’t any old weekend – well, it was old... Dad, to be more specific, turned the grand age of 70!! But, to be honest, he still acts 13 so we’ll split the difference and call him middle aged. Mum had arranged for lots of dad’s friends to come by the house on Saturday lunchtime for some food and drinks and a slice of the best cake EVER. The cake was by Lindsay at Totally Baked Cakes. She’s brill and you should all visit them on Facebook or Twitter and send your orders in via the website immediately.

That evening, once everyone had gone and the crumbs had been swept away, just the 5 of us headed up to a restaurant called The Retreat. Everything was lovely. The whole weekend – just great.

Back in London and this week has mostly been about preparing to move to the new flat on Monday morning. Suitcases have been packed and moved downstairs and the 8^th move in the past 6 years is about to begin.

I’ve been trying to decide for a while how I’d end this whole thing. So I’ve decided to end by not ending at all. Before you (mum and dad mainly) get too excited, this blog will end today, right now. But, if you’re keen to read more nonsensical ramblings and see more poorly captured phone-photos you can join me over on my Tumblr page. This page will be updated as and when I have something to share. No deadlines and certainly none of this one-a-week malarkey!

I have really enjoyed writing these posts over the past year and hope you’ve enjoyed reading them. Oh, that’s another thing.. THANK YOU for reading them! If you didn’t keep coming back week on week then I’d have been sat here writing to myself – somewhat lonely. It’s been a bit strange bumping into people and hearing, ‘oh I saw that on your blog’, but really nice at the same time. So I'm going  to carry on writing, but maybe a bit less publicly!

And that’s it, that’s all I’ve got for you.

What I suggest you do now is click on that there Blogger logo in the top left corner, set up an account and tell me all about your next year in weekly bite sized chunks. Yes, I’d enjoy that very much.

Until… the next project,
