Belated HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK people I am back in Madrid, and looking forward to resuming my online presence!

I trust all of you had a fabulous Christmas?? How about those New Year celebrations, were they wonderful and joyous??
May I ask, has everyone sufficiently recovered from the festivities?! I feel fresh as a daisy, well, at the moment anyway!

I thoroughly enjoyed returning home to see my family, unfortunately time escaped me once more and alas I wasn’t able to meet up with any friends. Regardless of that my Christmas was good and enjoyable 🙂

I have to admit though, since returning to Madrid I have become ever more increasingly aware that this MY home. Well, I get mixed emotions still; as I love the scenery of Wales, but I love my life here in Madrid. I think returning to Wales confirmed that I want to keep moving, travelling and exploring; I don’t enjoy a static existence! I also realise, more and more unfortunately, that there is so much I dislike about the UK!!!! The NHS, the welfare state, unemployment and the general misery – doom and gloom (or what I perceive as misery and doom and gloom)!

In short being back in Madrid for 2013 makes me happy 🙂

I am optimistic for this year, don’t know why, but I am! I feel for the first time in a long while that anything is possible and I am hoping to move on and up and firmly commit the past to THE past!

Hope you can all join me in this positivity (whilst it lasts)!!
