1.  I’d like to get back to reading more, and hopefully will get a bit more time to do so as the year progresses.  The target for the year is to read at least 20 books.

2.  Our visit to Paris showed up just how little French I have remembered - not surprising really as I’ve had little chance to use it since leaving school.  Target is to brush up on this and learn a little German too.

…it’s off to Paris we go…

Away to Paris for a few days so between that and Christmas, things may be a bit quiet around here for a little while.

Hope everyone enjoys the holidays, however you spend it!

When I first started this blog, I was pretty much swamped with all the things there was to do in order to get it up and running - and more importantly, to get it looking half decent with useful information in the sidebar etc.

Discovering Wordpress was a huge help as using a resource like this is practically essential for someone new to the game, and I’m delighted that I chose this platform to develop the blog.
