Where to in 2019
I find the beginning of a new year the perfect time to reassess… I don’t mean make new year’s resolutions – that feels like setting myself up to fail, but I like to plan where I go from here. Christmas gives a natural break to the year – chances are I’ll have finished a number…

Many thanks for this Alan. I’ll message you
