2024 was our year of travel, and as a result we were missing in action for most of the year. Four months of it was a world cruise (amazing — six continents, 30+ countries, would do it again if I had lots of money), and after that a road trip up the east coast of Australia.

We managed to write a lot, which was great.

All the best for the festive season and the new year. I hope it’s better for all of you than 2024 was. If you had a good one, have a better one next year, and if it was bad, may 2025 be so much better for you.
