A Year in Reflection..

So like many people I ponder the year that has just passed and look back on what was achieved and think... 'was it a gud yin..?'- lol...- in my honest opinion yea I think it was. Did I achieve much, well I think I did...

Its been a very quick year, god only feels like last Christmas. Back in January we had a lot of snow. This year hardly any (yet). We started with a weekend in Aviemore and this family time was certainly a theme of 2011.

What was my biggest achievement of the year- I would probably say getting out and about on my bike. I changed it in November and to date I've racked up a fair few miles, and for a me that's not bad. And its certainly something that I enjoy, and plan to much more of it in 2012...

Also I did a bit of hill-walking, but not as much as I would have liked. Ive bought a good pair of walking boots with some Christmas money so this will be rectified in 2012!, lol.

Derry in May, then in July we had 1 of our best ever holidays in Cyprus 2 weeks of sun and seeing the sights of a great island.

In October our oldest son Andrew turned 10 and we celebrated his 1st decade. This brought us all together and let us look back on a very quick first 10 years.. and we can see our first born growing up very fast !

Here is a video story I put together when we celebrated his birthday on October 24th!-

So as we entered the last quarter of 2011, we celebrated some more birthdays, and made plans for what we are doing in 2012. - We have had a great Christmas and we are looking forward to another new year...

The year's seemed to go in very quickly. This 1 was no exception. - so I would agree its been a good yin.!

So a final point is to wish you all a Happy New Year and all the best for 2012!

Cheers. Alex
