A warm hello to you my friends! As a few of you might know already I’m implementing a lot of change this year and I wanted to update everyone as to what is going on! When I moved to the UK I had two primary goals, a) to try save my relationship with Kathryn and b) to achieve financial stability.

Another very late post! This is for a review of one of the best books I’ve read and certainly the best I read last year. (hence the “late”…)

To my wonderful friends and family, near and far. I wish you all a very merry Christmas. I hope you are able to spend it with those you love you and love you in return. My wish, that I could be with you all! All the very best for the New Year. May it be filled with happiness and much love.

Woke up this morning to about 2-4 inches of snow! So unexpected which made it an even better surprise. I know it’s a bugger for those that have to try get to work, but enjoy it! Life is to short not to make the most of these wonderful displays by Mother Nature. Some pics from my walk this morning below, enjoy!
