I am feeling positive about the year ahead. John and I have lots to plan and look forward to. We are planning a 2-month trip around Scotland in the summer (sooooo looking forward to this). We are also moving to Cornwall in Sept\/Oct. In preparation for this we are decluttering and trying to take a lot of things to the charity shop &amp; have re discovered Ebay for selling things we no longer need.<\/p>\n<p>Moving into this house in July, was a nightmare, we had no idea how much stuff we had. It took 2 trips in an enormous van. So this move, we want to scale back and only take the furniture we require. I don&#8217;t know why, but I find clearing out bits and bobs really satisfying &amp; relaxing. So we have an exciting year ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Not forgetting <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.koolbadges.co.uk\">koolbadges<\/a><\/strong> we are already hard at work in the workshop. Heaps of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.koolbadges.co.uk\/valentines-day-c-21.html\">Valentines<\/a> <\/strong>and St Patrick&#8217;s Day badges are being made. Seems like a lot of people are having <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.koolbadges.co.uk\/st-patricks-day-c-22.html\">St Patrick&#8217;s Day<\/a><\/strong> parties.
