Last year was notable for a running theme on sustainability; both in the topics I was writing about and my decision not to make any flights as part of a 10:10 pledge to reduce my carbon emissions by 10%. This meant travel was based around the British Isles, and for the first time I visited all four constituent countries of the United Kingdom in one year.
Holiday and illness means this is the latest I’ve got round to writing a yearly review. Whilst today is possibly the latest I can get away with such a post, I still think it’s important to reflect on the achievements of the previous twelve months.
2007 started with me looking forwards rather than backwards, and with a view not only to take opportunities that came my way, but make my own as well.
Unsurprisingly, I feel compelled to write a review of this last year which I think I can say with some confidence has been very different from previous years.
As the year draws to a close, I thought it may be an idea to recall the events and achievements of the last 12 months – both personally, and those of my closest friends too.
