Happy, Happy, Happy New Year!

Happy, Happy, Happy New Year!.

If 2012 was sponsored by Carlsberg, it would (probably) be my best year yet.

I got the birth I wish I’d had with my first born Oliver, with my second son Alexander. A truly joyous elective that had me declaring I could do it all over again the second he was handed to me and I fell head over heels in love.

It was the year my family felt complete and I swelled with pride as my now ‘Big brother’ son took to his sibling as if he’d always been here (with a few thumps for good measure). Professionally I think I’ve been writing some of my best work when it comes to screenwriting (I’m sure there’s a correlation here between happiness and creative quality) and overall I reckon 2013 might just be shitting itself as it’s got a lot to live up to…

I’ve learnt a lot over the year-to never take anything or anyone for granted, that life is too short and every day, however hard, should be treasured, that my toddler can outsmart and out tantrum even me,  so there’s no point trying, that ‘let them eat cake’ Marie Antoinette style is often the easiest solution and that I might never, EVER, get tired of watching the Kardashians (especially now Baby Kimye’s on the way!)…

Thanks for reading my blog you lovely people!

Wishing you all a very happy, healthy and productive 2013!
