In my last round up, I said that there was a good chance the next time I'd write something here would be January 2020. Well hello.

The above montage is a chronological grid of photos from 2019. The top row is January, the 2nd is February and so on. I've been making these things every January for 12(!) years now. There's a gigantic version on my Flickr and the archive is under the #montage tag.

I'm so outta practice with writing that I'm already finding it painful. To keep things simple, here's a list of the main 2019 events (in my life):

2019 things:

We've been living in Stirling for a year now!
Beth just turned 2 and can talk!
Alex got a new job!
I really like my wee studio!
I lost a stone!

Presuming the world doesn't entirely fall apart (and it might), I'm optimistic about 2020. The last few years have been, um, blurry, but I kinda feel like I've got a hand back on the wheel.

As always, I hope to post here more on but, going by my recent streak, that's easier said than done. Follow my Instagram if you want regular bits from me.

Cheerio for now, dear listener. I love you x
