I’ve been absent lately, but I’ve been going through some changes. Some people see change as both good and bad – but we need to see how it pans out before we decide which. I was made redundant just before Christmas 2013. Redundant, it’s a pretty hideous word. It makes one feel unwanted, unloved, that everything you worked for has been for nothing and you’re tossed aside like a wet rag. There are some big changes happening, lots of cuts across the board – so I’m not the only one who is going through change, but that didn’t make it any less hurtful; or lessen the stress from the two-year lengthy consultation period of uncertainty followed by the inevitable. I wasn’t in a good place. My home life was bleeding and my craft was suffering. Then there was the reprieve; an opportunity for change. I’m fortunate to have landed another job through redeployment – but its something completely different. I’d been doing the same job for over sixteen years and now I’m going to be doing something else. In truth, I was a little worried about how I would adapt, but we’re built to adapt. Change is good; it opens your eyes to something you didn’t think you’d particularly engage. So when faced with change, grab the opportunity to change, Carpe Diem!

HAPPY NEW YEAR to our friends and family near/far. 2022 has been an amazing year for me. Though we had some big losses (Eric and Luka) there were also plenty of milestones and significant steps to a brighter future. Wishing you all the very best for the coming year. With love and lightSeeing Luka in my beer lacing made me happy sad #GoneTooSoon #samoyed #GoodBoy #beerlacing #beeromancy #beer #aleSnowed in. Our plans changed but wouldn’t have it any other way.
