A new decade....

I haven't been doing a lot of blogging at all. I've read a lot of other people's blogs, and have even photographed and composed posts in my head but somehow they've not made it on here.

So much has changed in my life in the last 18 months - I'm married, I'm teaching, we've bought a house, made plans, dreamed dreams and yet none of it has been recorded.

I don't usually make resolutions at the beginning of a new year, I find they get lost along the way very quickly. But as I sat looking out of my bedroom window on New Years Day, I thought about what I wanted to happen during the next year and I made certain decisions.

My dad often used to ask me if I was "being constructive". He had a great sense of purpose, of things that needed to be done. I want to be constructive, I want to look back at 2010 as the year that Achieved Things.

So, here I am, without readers, without any clear idea of what I will and will not write about but a clear purpose of what I want to achieve this year.

I want to serve Christmas dinner next year with homegrown vegetables on the table.
I want to host friends and open our home to new people.
I want to capture the beauty of little moments as so many other bloggers do.
I want there to be a record of my life.

A new decade, a new start and so many great possibilities.
