HAPPY NEW YEAR
Before welcoming the New Year I like to reflect on the past 12 months and think about where I have been and what I have done. Visiting new countries as I did with Mexico, Canada and Poland continues to quench my thirst for new adventures. My travels didn't just take me to other countries but also around the UK. In April I completed my walk across England which was quite a physical challenge. I also visited Liverpool and the Jurassic coast in Dorset/Devon.
One of the biggest challenges that I am undertaking is to visit every one of the 269 Underground stations to research above the station and its surroundings. So far I have been to 38 stations so I have some way to go.
Spending time in Manchester with Mum and also with my granddaughter here in London has meant I have less time for voluntary work but I still help out as a sighted guide as often as I can.
Blogging gives me a great deal of pleasure as I read about new places around the world and view some incredible photos. Your continued support of my blogs and the numerous comments you write give me such a thrill.
So thank you, each and everyone of my readers and followers.
None of us know what the future holds but I wish you all a healthy, happy and blogging good year.
Have a great year 2016
ReplyDeletebye bye 2000 fifteen
ReplyDeletehello 2000 sixteen.
A Happy New Year to you. 38 underground stations is a good start and while I doubted your plan was achievable, now I think it is. You have certainly travelled this year.
ReplyDeleteYou have done a good job in laying out your future endeavors. I wish you well in them, since I will also benefit! :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your extraordinary adventures throughout 2015 which have also given me glimpses of parts of the country of my birth which I haven't seen. Wishing you a safe, happy and adventurous 2016. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Marie. I'll be back blogging very soon. Dan and I just had an overnight trip to a nice BnB and enjoyed some history. I'll be writing about it.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year. I wish you a wonderful 2016 filled with all sorts of pleasant adventures :)

We are watching fireworks by our neighbors across the water. Not as spectacular as yours but fun. Happy New Year, Marie!
ReplyDeleteoh very cool fireworks photos, we saw some that the neighbours were letting off last night, we couldnt' get over to the city as there were too many people and too much traffic going in and out of there, happy new year for 2016 :-)
ReplyDeleteLove this post. Very well done as are all your posts. Hope you continue to have more adventures in 2016.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have had a great year. I so admire that long walk you did.
