Ah, it's been a wonderful Christmas, and a flipping excellent new year. And I can't begin to tell you how delighted I am to be back at work. [Yeah, right!]

And what a lot of work I have - a complete redesign of the magazine, first proofs to be put before the board on Friday. I haven't even begun to think about it yet, oops.

This will mean far less blogging than normal. In fact, I have had a complete rethink about my blog:

Swish Cottage will be one year old next week. It's been a good year for the blog - but a bad one for work. I have spent far too much time reading blogs, writing blogs, trying to think of things to blog about. Far, far too much time. So I have made a resolution: this year is going to be different.

Honest, it is.
