Happy New Year

2007 has been a strange old year. It has had many ups and downs, and as such it’s not been the best. The biggest thing to happen to me this year, was that after nearly 20 years, I managed to have enough courage to leave BT. I didn’t realise how much stress I was under there, and what a weight lifted from my shoulders when I left. I had seven weeks out, and got an offer for a temporary job from a friend. The pay’s not the greatest, but I am now working with a great group of people, and I no longer dread going to work in the morning.

While all that was happening, we lost Bert. He died of a heart attack in October, while on holiday. Off course I am sad that he is no longer here, and I do miss him, but I can’t help thinking what great timing. He had just been out for a lovely day, and had his favourite steak dinner.

Today, I have been thinking a lot about the coming new year. I want to get back to taking pictures. The idea behind this blog, was to encourage me to take pictures. I must admit, one of the disappointments of 2007, especially the last few months, is that I have not really held the camera in anger. I want that to change, as I miss going out and about.
