It’s not been a good year, has it? I’ve found myself retreating more and more into myself and struggling just to speak to people, or even to write or paint. So, what do we need for the new year? Strength and peace, I think.
So I’m wishing you all strength and peace.

Happy New Year, Mick. The light is returning!

I’ve been like that for years Mick and am only just coming out of it after the devastation of the last four years and 2020 in particular. So I raise a glass to you and wish you the best 2021 you could possibly wish yourself.

I feel I have also become more introverted this year, Mick. I’ve done a lot of writing and artwork though. Happy New Year.
