2011 In a Nutshell

When trying to describe moments, memories, things that have happened I find that one word usually does it. But thinking of one word to sum up a whole years worth of adventures is proving a conundrum.


How to sum up a whole year in a single word - enlivening!

I don't think I could have mentally or physically packed anything else into 2011, it was both exciting and hectic all at once starting with a new job and moving to Surrey.

Highlights most definitely include becoming IRC National Champions with the Elaine crew, being part of the press team at the pre-Olympics in Portland and making some incredible new friends.

As with everything there has been a fair number of teeth-pulling stressful days, but then I have survived them all and am still here to tell my tales.


After Granddad got married for the third time, there was a lot to be put into perspective. He is happy and that is all that matters surely. So why do we all work so hard, if not to be happy?
2011 was a happy time for me and I threw myself (literally) through the New Year looking to find more happiness in 2012. So far so good!
