Far from the Madding Crowd

As the final hours of 2025 ebbed away, I sat on the sofa with a laptop, quietly lifting 22 years worth of blog posts into the air – to land them far from the madding crowd.

After a rather horrendous run through the end of the year – more of a stagger than a run if I’m honest – I came very close to ending the blog entirely. Not by choice, either.

I do want to shout out those that reached out to me during the darkest recent days. It meant far more than you’ll ever know.

Anyway…

The sun rises tomorrow on a new year! I’m not going to spout any ridiculous resolutions, or goals. I’m just going to try and get through the coming year in one piece.

Fingers crossed.
