Hi there lovelies and Happy New Year to you all. I hope you all have a wonderful start to this new year.

Gosh, it seems a long time since I last posted; February to be exact! I remember promising a new start with the blog but unfortunately illness and two operations got in the way. I was poorly through March and then an ongoing knee problem got much worse, resulting in me not being able to walk and at times I felt like I would never be able to walk properly again. I spent months on crutches but finally with the wonderful support from the doctors and physios and sheer determination from me; I'm finally getting there.

It's not been an easy time; in fact I got rather down at times but I could always rely on my family to rally round and make me laugh. I'm slowly getting back into posting pictures on Instagram and really want to start blogging again. But I think right now, it's about small steps and achievable goals and I'm not going to say I will post on a regular basis as I feel I will be putting pressure on myself and I want blogging to be fun and happy; something that is positive and completely separate from my day job.

I'd like to get back to posting monthly bucket lists and lifestyle posts. Maybe including travel, outfit posts, food, beauty and my journey into mindfulness. I'm writing a bucket list post for January at the moment which I will post very soon.

Have you chosen any New Year resolutions this year? I've decided to carry on building up on the goals I gave myself in October when I became more mobile. A healthy eating plan, drinking more water, more quality time with my family, getting my knee stronger at the gym so I can build up my walking time and being in the present.

I can honestly say I'm not sad to see the back of 2016! Here's to a fresh new start! I've got a really good feeling this year is going to be special.

Wishing you all much joy and happiness!

Much love,
