2013: The Year I reached for the Stars!

2013 has been a big year in more ways than one; in fact it has been a bloody awesome year!

Yes there have been downs, and believe me those downs could have been a hell of a lot worse, but on the whole as I look back at this year there have been so many highs. I really did reach for the stars! And it’s not just been my personal goals, it’s also covered work goals and as we get ready to go into 2014 there’s more excitement ahead!

However, those moments wouldn’t have been possible if my family or friends hadn’t been with me to enjoy those moments. That’s what made those moments really special! So I’d like to thank, in no particular order, my mum and dad, Davina, Janey, Bev, Julie and Max, Rachel, Amanda and Charlie, Pip, Helen, Debbie, Will, Gareth H, Barbara, Jules, Sarah, Gareth C, Matt, and Denis. There are many, many more that have been with me all the way but sadly I’ve never met such as Sheepy, Paula, Becky, Caroline, Nikki, Missus F etc etc, I could go on and on but those who follow me on Twitter, Blipfoto and LinkedIn have been brilliant!
