This is a short blog. I’ve had a busy day here at Bigland Towers tying up loose ends in preparation for a new (hopefully better) year ahead. I’m not too sorry to see the back of 2024 as it’s had far too many ups and downs. I’ve not even ventured outside today as the weather here in the Pennines is awful, which severe weather warnings heralding the arrival of yet more gales and heavy rain. 2024 is literally blowing itself out! 2025 is predicted to start in the same way only with the added bonus of snow. If the forecast is right then I’ll have plenty of time to write my review of 2024 as we won’t be going anywhere. Just as we haven’t tonight. Instead, Dawn’s cooked some fabulous food for us to enjoy in front of a film.

In the meantime, let me wish all my readers a prosperous and peaceful 2025, whatever time zone in which you reside – as some of you will already be there!

See you in January…

I’ve a small favour to ask…
If you enjoy reading this or any of the other blogs I’ve written, please click on an advert or two. You don’t have to buy anything you don’t want to of course – although if you did find something that tickled your fancy that would be fab! – but the revenue from them helps me to cover some of the cost of maintaining this site (which isn’t cheap and comes out of my own pocket). Remember, 99% of the pictures used in my blogs can be purchased as prints from my other website –  https://paulbigland.zenfolio.com/
