Happy New Year and I would like to send you good wishes for 2026. Yet again, the year seems to have gone quickly, so it is time to look forward with plans for 2026 and revisit aims from last year.

Read interesting books - this has continued and I have read 78 books this year. Some I have enjoyed were: the Shardlake series by C.L Sansom, A Thousand Ships by Natalie Haynes, The Garden Against Time by Olivia Laing, Over My Dead Body by Maz Evans, The Mitford Girls by Mary S Lovell and The Lost Story by Meg Shaffer.
Be Creative using what I have - this aim will definitely carry on in 2026 and I have completed my online art journal course, continued my slow drawing online classes and have continued to explore watercolours. I have also made cards all year, which I enjoy very much. I have a few sewing projects to do and various book-making projects on the go too, so there won't be any shortage of creativity in 2026. I have several online classes which I also need to focus on.
Get rid of or donate things I no longer want or need - this has stalled somewhat this year, although I have still been taking the occasional things to the charity shops. I need to get this going again and and really make an impact. I am going to decide what I wish to keep going forward and what I don't, which is what I did with my books.
Take more notice of nature - I certainly did this while I worked in the garden. Birdsong is such a joy, as is to be able to sit with a cup of tea and enjoy the peace and quiet. Living in a city, this is not always easy, but early mornings seem to be a good time. We had such a warm Spring and hot Summer, so I perhaps wasn't out there all that much during that time. I need to purchase another water butt to help with irrigation. Chris has been busy at the allotment, and we need to work on our plot and get the raised beds in.
Visit gardens - I have not been anywhere again this year so I would really like to visit some this year. York Gate and Hemingford Grey are still top of my list.
So, these are my plans for 2026. I wonder how I will get on?
