A look back at 2015


Well it has reached that time where we look back at the year just ending and I must say that 2015 has been a fantastic year for me. 


I reduced my working hours at the start of the year which has meant that I have had lots more time to spend with my DH and also on my hobbies - this year it has been mainly walking and crocheting.


In late January/early February we had a major kitchen refurbishment (long overdue) ...






We have undertaken lots of walks.  Some near to home ...






and some further away ...






We have seen lots of flora/fauna ...





We enjoyed two holidays in the West Country and a few weekends away ...





I joined Slimming World at the end of March and to date have lost 4 st 2.5 lbs and won the Miss Slinky competition ...






and I have done lots of crocheting ...





I am hoping that 2016 will prove to be as good as this year has been.


All that remains is for me to wish you all a Happy, Healthy and Peaceful 2016. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

  6. You have had a wonderful 2015 - here's to more of the same this year. I recognize that ripple blanket - I'm in the process of making one for E to (hopefully!) take to uni next year. Gorgeous photo collages. Happy New Year, Jan. xx

  7. I'm so glad 2015 was such a good year for you, Jan, and you should be especially proud of your weight loss (probably due, in large part, to all of those great walks you've taken!)... I wish you every happiness in 2016!

  8. Thank you for your lovely comments on my blog, I am hoping to stitch and sew again this year. Your crochet is gorgeous I love it! And wow 4st 2.5lbs! You put me to shame, I have put on a stone on top of what I already weighed! But I am back on the SW plan, so do pop to my blog and ask me if I have lost weight, perhaps I should say not 'if' but how much!!Well done! Happy New Year and every blessing.
