How I feel about the new year

It is amazing how Christmas comes and now we are heading into a new year. I am not going out but plan to stay up to watch the fireworks in London and looking forward to celebrating. 

So what is next? Well it means more Radio shows. I do a two hour show on Sundays and is a charity and filming more vlogs. Check Epsom Hospital radio to listen to the radio station, if you are in the UK.

I am going into the next year with an open mind and see what happens. I am not necessarily going to plan too much as such because I just want to just go with the flow as I want more of what I had in 2025 and not set too many goals. 

                                           

Too much is too much and I need to remind myself that sometimes it is good to have low expectation. 

"It is good to go with the flow and watch things grow". 

I think I have been so lost from reality and so intense with life and so I want to let life take its course and focus on each day, more. I want to sit in the back seat for a while and I feel I no longer have to prove anything; Life is not about to do lists but what will fulfill my wellbeing.

I loved our walks we did from Putney to Hammersmith. I definitely like to do that again. It is amazing to see how Fulham FC where I first worked, has become and yes I do support Chelsea but still like to look out for my neighbours and that Fulham has become an enterprise. 

It was good to go to the cinema and the theatre. So there's not a lot I want to change and would love more pub lunches when having days out. Going to see a #rugby match and football and take Henry to his sports clubs and have days in aswell, as out.

I enjoyed Christmas and in 2026 it is about more tranquility and not rushing. I really don't like making a mad dash to be somewhere and so I get up early to read, time to get dressed, something to eat and then me and Henry go for a coffee and then he goes to his lesson. 

There is a feeling of hope, because Henry is doing an assessment at a school. He didn't get a place, so going to see what happens about that, but wait to see what happens and so feel good about 2026 and a Happy New Year to you and not able change but continuing to grow as a mum and writer. Not being so intense and I am looking forward to see what 2026 will bring.

Bringing back my Daily blog 2026

I am not sure if I will be blogging on this blog site each day so will be more a weekly posts. I like to try each day again but I know that that would not be a certainty. 

Thank you to those who have visited this site, it is not the end of this blogsite by any means, I just won't be daily. 

It is now Christmas 2025 and it has been a good year. A bit different as my son gets tutored because he didn't get a school placement and so been having lessons at the local library and so it has been different but his tutor is brilliant and so I have been there because my son still gets a bit of separation anxiety. He won't go to the toilet without me so I hang around and I have been doing a lot of planning and journaling. 

#today it is a bus ride to Morden and had a coffee, picked up some wine and other bits. I have some gifts to put together. 

Is Christmas overrated? 

I like the peacefulness on Christmas day and getting up when I want and not having to be anywhere. We went to our yearly trip to see a Panto. It was Snow White and the comedian Aaron James was brilliant and Robert Rinder was in it along with Lesley Joseph and the best one I have seen and I see one every year. 

Watching the Royal Variety was okay. As a kid I never missed one. This was back in the 80's and 90's but now I don't get that much joy but variety is good and as a kid hoped one day I'd be on the stage myself but that never happened, but one can only dream. I loved the magic act who won Britain's Got Talent and the balancing act, along with the bit they did about Band Aid, it just I remember as a child it was live and now its recorded. I remember many acts had been band like certain comedians and then they were reinstated. I loved it back as a kid, because I love Cannon and Ball. Artists like Shirley Bassey, who would do the end performance and is famous all over the world. 

If you ever get a chance to host, sing and dance etc. You knew you made it, into show business and glad it continues to be on and as we need variety acts. I love circus type acts, magic, mixed with comedy and music.
