It was pointed out to me that I haven't blogged since October, and I felt rather ashamed. Truth is, I have five or six unfinished blog posts lying in the drafts box, ranging from topics of singleness to the book 'One Day' by David Nicholls. Yet, I haven't been pushing myself to finish them. But a New Year is here, and my challenge is to challenge myself. And also to stop apologising at the beginning of each post.
I had a beautiful Christmas, spending time with my family. We're a small and rather tight-knight group, who refer to ourselves as 'The Buzzards' and make frequent bird of prey jokes. It's a little embarrassing how often, when out for a walk, somebody will spot a bird circling ahead, point and shout, "Look it's one of our relations!" The clan has also multiplied considerably in recent years, as both my cousins now have small children, which has lead to hours of Hide and Seek using the only five hiding places in the house.

It was good to be there. And now it's time to begin again. College resumes tomorrow, and I'm praying for the most amazing, God-glorifying last six months there. Hope you all had a great Christmas and I'm encouraging your use of the comment box this year, so let me know how it was!
p.s. You may be wondering about the blog title. 2012 promises to be a great year: finishing A-levels, hopefully off to Uni to study English, potentially spending all of July in South Africa, being a part of the new Tribe system with our church youth and to kick it all off, after 12 years of protesting that boiled eggs make me feel sick, I enjoyed one this morning. It's an exciting year!
